Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025 after passing budget evaluation

That's majestic
These standing seats have been coming next year for the past decade, but they always failed safety tests. Planes need to be evacuated within a certain time frame, which does not work when the plane is too densely packed.

How people can look at (mostly) state owned rail vs private airlines and still think the free market benefits the average person is one of life's big mysteries to me.
I mean, Trump won the vote, and Brexit won the vote... Something tells me it's as simple as most people are fucking stupid.
Watch these cost the same as standard seats, and the cost of standard seats go up
“You’re still a premium subscriber and have full access to our premium plan, but some of our options have changed.”
Honestly, I'm pretty tall and if it gives more room for my legs, I'd like to have the option
Finally more leg room... But now your head bumps against the ceiling and you need to have your head tilted for the entire flight
Same answer as above
Most people can't stand outside of the aisle because this area is meant to be seated (so they put storage space above the head). If the area outside the aisle is meant to be stood (not sure of my english), and they don't remove the storage above the head, people are in their right to luigi those decision makers.

Why do you assume there will be leg room?
This. The who point is to cram more seats than they are currently able
Presumably standing seats means standing up? Hopefully not squatting seats.

So I guess no putting your head between your knees in the event of a crash then, huh?
The only reason airlines would have you do that in the first place is so you can kiss your ass goodbye.

You need to pass yoga test to afford this seat

The lengths the US will go to to avoid building high-speed rail.
This is almost certainly a European thing.
It is a European thing!

Because of course it's Ryanair.
Oh, you want a seat? That's an extra £50. Each. Both ways. Go fuck yourselves.
The EU needs to regulate the fuck out of that shitbag company.
It's a capitalism thing.
Extract as much value as possible. Deliver as little value to your customers as possible. Treat them as second layer of product.
Human needs are not the goal.

Ryanair has no plans to introduce them. (sorry for the metro link).
Also Ireland kind of gets a pass they don't have a rail link to anywhere. A Dublin-Holyhead tunnel would definitely be a good idea.

Why don't they do lay-down-only seats? Seems like you'd save the same amount of space or more with vastly more comfort.
The serious non-joke answer is the same as the one for these standing seats: emergency exit speed. When an airplane crash lands you have like less than 2 minutes to get everyone out before the huge inferno happens and roasts people. So for standing seats that pack even more people into an airplane, they have to prove that they can still get everyone out before the deadline. For laying-down seats they would have to prove the same thing.

Why don’t they do lay-down-only seats?
Bigger and older passengers would find it more difficult to get into the top bunk than to ride a standing-only seat.
But it's all shit regardless. Boeing can barely even make planes that don't fall apart on the runway. The American airline industry's fleet is increasingly defunct. The FAA is gutted. Airports are falling into disrepare due to mismanagement. You'll be lucky to get any kind of air travel in another decade.
The FAA's goal of zero air disasters will feel like a luxury in the future.

Honestly, that may actually be more comfortable for me than trying to fold my legs into the tiny rows they have now.
I am super torn here because pre-back-surgery me looks at these and says "the NERVE of these fuckers" and post-back-surgery me is like "Well that WOULD be nice yes"
Honestly I didn't even realize until now how good the cropping is on lemmy compared to redd*t. holy shit the number of memes that came from screenshots of twitter screenshotted on insta screenshotted on whatever the fuck but this one was profile.
There's an idea. Flights that people can make standing, should be banned, except when there is a body of water between the destination.
Solution: bring a cheap plastic chair as part of your luggage
And if the plane fails, jump out of the plane with the chair and sit down/stand up as you're about to hit the ground.
You won't receive any fall damage during the animation.
(Make sure to check patch notes, this is a 2020 update exploit)
I'm 6'6". Standing only seats would be preferable to me.
I'm 5'5" and I just know my legs would dangle like a child on their first roller coaster.

Next step - put bicycle seats, reducent material for backs. Then add bicycle pedals for engines, to reduce fuel usage. None said anything about actually reducing ticket price by that, high prices stays forever.

It sounds quiet ridiculous, but I also had some flights that were so short (~50 min) that it almost took more time to seat everybody. Anyway, I would love to read those safety reports. Not only is sitting better on impact, but also cramping more people in the same machine, means more people (which trend to not comprehend the idea of leaving their luggage behind) share the exit routes.
I can’t wait to see people passing out or getting injured because of these seats.

If people actually pay for this it’s on them
If it catches on, these seats will be the base price and seated places will become premium. It will impact everyone that travels by plane.
