    I think this is actually a demo setup by boeing - there are track systems that the seat rows anchor into on actual aircraft, and those tracks are flush with the carpet.

    Then everyone decides to look out the left windows at the grand canyon.

    And then slowly shifts to the back of the plane because they want to see it longer.

    Soon they’ll see it up close.

    Fewer parts = fewer parts that can fail.

    I know this is a shitpost, but in case anyone is curious this link has a video of what can happen if a plane has unsecured weight onboard that is allowed to move around.

      And here’s the Wikipedia page about the incident, which has more details:

      On 29 April 2013, the Boeing 747-400 operating the flight crashed within the perimeter of the Bagram airfield moments after taking off, killing all seven people on board.

      The subsequent investigation concluded that improperly secured cargo broke free during the take-off and rolled to the back of the cargo hold, crashing through the rear pressure bulkhead and disabling the rear flight control systems. This rendered the aircraft stuck in an uncontrollable pitch-up attitude and induced a stall, and made recovery by the pilots impossible.

      So it’s not just unsecured cargo, but unsecured cargo that disabled rear flight control systems. I’m guessing unsecured people wouldn’t cause the same problem, but it could certainly cause other problems.

    How about just bunk beds with seat belts or some kind of restraint and a paddled ceiling inside your bed space.

    The next dumb thing to having an completely open floor space is in installing seats and normalizing the idea that people should sit in them for 8, 10, 12, 14 hours periods.

    The only time we need seats with restraints is in the ten minutes after take off and the ten minutes when landing … the rest of the time, I would prefer if I just slept the entire time.

    I’d give up TV, a monitor, music, a window, free food and drinks if airlines just gave me a bare bones option of just being allowed to sleep flat for the entire flight.

      I feel like you could make a laying-down seatbelt (if it crashes, we’re fucked anyway) and I should definitely be able to lay down proper.

      There are several ways they could do stacked beds or offset-stacked reclined seats that would not only be more comfortable and provide more room for the passengers, but also allow them to cram more people in the plane.

        I unironically think this is how plane travel should be. Slide me into a tube and gas me asleep. No peanuts, no crick neck, no risk of hijacking, and no praying and screaming when we slam into a mountain at 900km/h because the pilots had a bad day.

        Could never afford it … my point was … I’d pay regular fare to be able to lie flat for the entire flight and you can forget giving me a TV monitor, entertainment, free food, just give me water, don’t even bother with a blanket or pillow … you can even stack me with three or four other bunks above or below me … I don’t even want a window … I don’t want to interact with your staff and I really don’t want to have anything to do with anyone or bother with anyone for the entire flight … just let me sleep in peace for eight hours, it’s cheap and I really don’t care or want any extras.

            Can confirm, seats are big and heavy, that’s valuable people space.

            Also, remove the luggage storage for more people weight capacity.
