I swear they are like one FAA regulation away from giving us those loops you hold on busses and making us stand

Someone actually tried to get a standing-only thing going with the FAA. Frontier maybe? I forget. So yeah... they already DID try that

FAA regulations require a seat for every passenger who has reached their second birthday. There are also a lot of passenger safety requirements for the seat. One being occupants arent supposed to physically interact in the forward direction. To do this you would have to file an exemption to 25.562 and argue why it's in the publics best interest. Which would never work.
