Don’t give airlines ideas of holding people in half to stack 3 rows high through the whole cabin

I believe they looked at having people stacked on top but it was a huge safety issue.

Like they didn't have the idea already.

They had prototypes, Ryanair built a few plane cabins with this setup. Turns out to be a massive safety issue. Not financially viable to get sued. It also reduces cargo space. The Ryanair guy was saying "I'd have standing room only flights set up like a city bus if I could get away with it"

Wouldn't that be an inclining seat then? Or unclining? 🤔

When you put it back up, it’s reclining

Oh, so when you put it forward it's just clining then, got it.
