Reply #56: I flown all over the world

I think it's doable. Think of all the thrombosis issues that would be solved. I mean there's definitely some details that need to be worked out. You might have to rotate the crowd around so everyone has a chance to use the blue room on long flights, but you certainly can't argue about the economics of it. I mean think about how much extra space and weight you'd save once the seats were removed. I mean, shit it's not that much different than the way the military travels. If it's not too good for them, it's certainly not too good for Joe Sixpack.

The way people are packed in like sardines it wouldn't make that much difference, really. It's mostly just a psychological difference if anything. I think once people got used to the idea and how much money they would really save, I don't think you'd have too many objections. And it really only makes perfect sense. Aircraft have specific weight limits. So why not simply charge people by the pound? We already do that for cargo and baggage, so what's the difference other than some silly humanistic reasoning, right? We need to throw that yoke off and get with the program here. Air transportation is just about getting you from point A to point B in the fastest and most efficient way possible. If you aren't down with that philosophy, you really should consider using another mode of transportation.
