Will You Be Flying Coach...Or Barn?
Just when you thought airplane travel couldn't get any more uncomfortable or degrading, the airlines have come up with yet another brilliant cost-cutting idea: having "standing room only" seats! They actually forsee hanging passengers from harnesses in a standing position and propping them against a padded backboard, reports Christopher Elliott in a New York Times article. Hmmm...kind of like human dry cleaning! I have a suggestion for the next level down...how about chaining passengers together and dangling a string of them from the wings?
Hey - at least they're not demanding that you flap the wings...

I'd actually prefer the harness thing to the lack of legroom I've had in some planes.
