I think the goal here is to increase the amount of room available for the premium seats which are how Airlines make their bread and butter. If they can compact the current number of coach flyers into less space then they can increase the number of premium spots which they can sell for 5-10 times the price of that coach ticket. So in the name of luxury the plebs get to stand. I doubt that we'll see a cut in costs for flying and these types of seats also would increase demand for overhead bin space meaning more charges for bring luggage because of limited overhead space. More checked bags means more money.

I like snakes but that's a few to many. *shudder*

Looks like an interesting way to help the elderly but the big part is always price point. How much will it cost and how easy is it to reload?

Good for him and boo on the other riders for not being a little more kind and a little more human about making room.

Life long exercise opportunities should be something taught in school but as a parent I try and take the opportunity to teach my children about them on my own.

It is amazing how a machine can suddenly be personified, especially when it is about to end its mission. Thank you Spitzer for showing the Universe in a different light.
