Oh wow. Fire whatever idiot came up with this nonsense.

You're still screwed if you're sitting behind a fat guy.

 

I love Obelix as much as the next sane person would love Obelix.

 

But I never want him to sit infront of me.

 

However.

 

It's my fault for flying RyanAir lolololololol.

[Fidite Nemini]

Well, it is evidently more space efficient when you'd only look at how many people you could possibly fit into a plane. But it sure wouldn't be benefitting people who start to feel nauseous when moving in an opposite direction to where they're facing.

 

Nothing new really, this is a design that naturally comes out when you let someone work the math.

[Eternal Phoenix]

Just imagine all the awkward eye contact and the awkward arm placement. Who the hell came up with this design? Someone into sadism? The plane would be filled with people making a nervous version of Spiderman's meme face.

A mathematician.

 

So yeah ...

Whoever designed that seat arrangement is insane.

Whoever designed that seat arrangement is insane Kishibe Rohan.

Kishibe Rohan? Ok then i won't complain. He did play the greatest game of Rock Scissors and Paper of all time, and was the MVP in the fight against Yoshikage Kira.

He is?

 

Better binge read tommorow then.

Can't wait 'till they discover that if they sedate passengers they can rack them up like bowling pins and skip inflight service all together. Economics.

Naw, proper sedation is expensive and complex. And improper sedation leads to nasty lawsuits, with the very improper cases of sedation being lawsuits on account of death and that one is particularily expensive.

I don't get it, how do the people in the middle seats get around the other passengers?

[KaiserShep]

They should just take the final step and have everyone just lie down in honeycomb chambers, or something like the passenger spacecraft in The Fifth Element. 

[The Love Runner]

It's like a honeycomb of despair...

EDIT: Dang it, KaiserShep!!!!

Sounds like Spirit Airlines, which somehow manages to take the same airbuses everyone else uses, and turn them into a dozen Volkswagen buses strapped together. I guess it could be worse. It could be Ryanair, which is inferior to just sitting in a lawn chair bolted to the wing of a biplane.

You'd be praying for a Russian SAM to hit your flight before you reached the half-way point.

IKR? Current air travel is only tolerable because you can pretend the other passengers aren't really there, but this design forces you to make eye contact.

Yeah that...  As long as it comes with a nice hostess to pork

 

How did they force everyone to just "nod off" on that ship / plane whatever?

I dunno, but the implications of such technology are….problematic.

The evil airline industry would prefer this model

Actually it would not surprise me.

[Dobbysaurus]

I would stare at the person sitting facing me the entire time and weird them out.
