    39 KB Welcome to the future of air travel Anonymous 09/13/10(Mon)04:16 No.2277075  
    On your last flight, did you stare with envy at the people sitting in the exit row? Did you get a charley horse from trying to cross your legs under your tray table? Consider yourself lucky, pal. Your next budget flight might ask you to fly horseback style, squeezed onto a saddle in just 23 inches of space.

    This new airplane seat will be officially unveiled at a trade show next week, and the early buzz is that several airlines are interested, including some in the U.S. The thought makes us cringe — which, come to think of it, we will be required to do in order to fit into these seats.

    The “SkyRider” is the latest innovation designed to save airlines money and, apparently, make passengers miserable. It is supposed to mimic the experience of riding horseback: “Cowboys ride eight hours on their horses during the day and still feel comfortable in the saddle,” says Dominique Menoud, director general of Aviointeriors Group, which will make the seats. Some cowboys might say otherwise, but there’s a larger point: In the future, do we really want to return to traveling Old West style?


    Odds are pretty good that budget airlines will be the first to order the SkyRider, which Menoud says can be used in its own cabin class. Ireland’s Ryanair already wants to sell standing-room-only seats, and this could be an aviation-authority-approved alternative. Tickets will probably be cheaper, but airlines will reap rewards by packing more people on board. That is, until people give up and choose telepresence over sardine-style travel.

    We’re all for future aircraft technologies that improve flight efficiency and design. By all means, give us airplanes with self-cleaning, shape-changing seats made of plant fibers. Please, just don’t make us sit 23 inches apart.

    Way to try and turn this into another one of those goddamn train threads. This came up a while ago when Ryanair ---an IRISH airline-- brought up the "standing room only" seats mentioned in the article.

    The government should just take over the flying business. Seriously, don't we have to bail these corrupt pieces of shit out every 5 years or so, even while they make flying ever more painful and overpriced?

    Fuck 'em.

    Seat looks like it would press up underneath the testicles and the blood vessels that supply oxygenated blood to the testicles.

    See the infertility/impotence problems bicycle seats cause male riders who use the incorrect seat.

    Why do americans hate trains so much? I use a train every day to go to work and I'm ok with it. Sure it might be a few minutes late during the winter but it's easier, less stressful and cheaper than driving there plys you never need to worry about carjackers or finding a parking space.

    But look at the seat!
    Nice curves, cool looking colors, lots of plastic!
    Its like a high tech baby seat, but for adults!
    Technology has really gone a long way in improving efficiency! And since planes are more high tech in the year 2010, flights will be shorter than ever

    Who the hell crosses their legs on a flight?
    New Yorkers? Californiers?
    A plane is supposed to get you were your supposed to go, you don't need to be spoiled into comfort. Don't like it, then pay more for a better seat, or better yet, just drive there yourself.

    thats not what he means aspie. he's just saying they are there for transportation. That does not assume they are the only form of transportation. Also, america is not like eurofag land. Its a huge fucking country. Planes are the choice overall at this point in time for long distance travel.

    Didn't we agree these will let them offer $20 flights or something? Won't stop you from buying your tickets for regular more comfortable flights, but plenty would jump for super-cheap tickets at the cost of a good seat.

    Honeycombs. Your seat assignment would be in 3 dimensions, row, seat, and height. You get a 3x6x2 box to occupy for the flight.

    KNOW YOUR ROLE!

    CUSTOMER : Your role is to pay the corporation. The service is just a formality the company would prefer to eliminate. The less they have to spend on you, and the worse they can treat you, the better.

    EMPLOYEE : You are an unfortunate expense the company must pay. Your services are NOT appreciated, they simply have to tell you your appreciated to stop you from wondering why you didn't get a raise. This "appreciation" is also an unfortunate thing the employer must do. The employer wishes you would just bend over and take a pay cut or no raises ever without opening that annoying hole in your face.

    I FUCKING LOVE IT.

    THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY IS ASKING TO BE REPLACED BY PRIVATE AIRCRAFT TRAVEL.

    I'm buying a $3k Ultra-Light kit just to practice: they're practically a bicycle, an aluminum engine, and two parallel seats of an aluminum tricycle that can fly upto 70 miles per hour.

    Airline Pilots are mostly ex-military men, so they can kiss my ass for allowing a bunch of Islame Mudslimes to intimidate them with razorblades.

    You know, it would be a LOT more efficient to just strip people naked, hose them down with lube and pack them in standing room only. Sure there would be a period of adjustment while people learn to get used to somebody's erect dick, flabby stomach or distended nipples rubbing into them but think of the profits airlines could make charging for wet wipes to clean up the cum stains.

    If you want to wear clothes and sit down pay for the first-class upgrade you cheap bastards.
