Standing room in Airplanes

I never liked Airbus, most of it comes from the fact that I grew up in Seattle and have a lot of mistaken loyalty for Boeing, but now that I read about Airbus proposing standing room seats to some Asian airlines. . .I'm just plain scared of them. Standing room seats on a biz trip? No, thanks.

シアトル育ちが原因でエアバスは好きではない(ボーイングは元々シアトルの会社だから)、今朝そのエアバスがたち座席(座席でいいのか。。。)について全日空とJALに話しかけているのを読み. . .エアバスに対して恐怖が芽生えた。出張でたち座席、かなり落ち込む。

hey, dice, if the plane flys vertically, all the passengers will be their backs, laying down...right?
that's a cool way to fly long distance.

That's crazy. Looks like some form of torture. But anything to make a buck I suppose. With the end of oil near, they may want to work on something else besides different seats though...

Well, I'm flying home in a few hours, on a Boeing.

dice:
try this standing seat formation on your flight home...tell those flight attendants that you are trying out new seating arrangement.

飛行機での立ち寝はカンベン…。

Is it that crazy? カプセルホテルみたいになればいいのに。

カプセルホテルは良いかも。今のスペースとあまり変わらない?

But, if they made it like capsule hotels (kind of like the Fifth Element. . .I suppose), there might be a lot of new inductees into the * Mile Club or the Ten thousand feet club, or whatever it's called.

Why not just melt the passengers and pour them into the plane? This way you could fill the thing up completely

They tried the melting, but people just got mixed together. Pretty messy.

でも、今の飛行機でもほとんど垂直で寝ているようなものだよ。
