More people on not as many planes = less carbon.

Think flying is bad now? Wait until you see this.  
   
While fliers are crying for more comfortable seats and additional amenities the airlines just want lower costs and more capacity. To meet those demands and extend the life of its 20-year old A330’s Airbus is improving the jets and installing smaller seats. That means more tickets sold for every flight.  
 While shrinking the chairs is a start, Airbus has even more radical plans for increasing revenue in the next generation of planes. The company has filed a patent for seats that stretch the definition of what sitting even means. The new plan is to minimize the size of each row by having passengers lean back into cushions that resemble bike seats and strap themselves into place with seat belts. With the entire row of seats will be fixed to a common bar, allowing it be folded and stored when not in use. No seat back, no tray table and no legroom at all. Just a plane full of passengers trapped in a semi-squatting position for however long the journey may take.
   
 Looks like I'll be doing a lot more driving in the future. Will Aviation regulators allow this to come to fruition? What's going to happen when the plane is sitting on the tarmac for four hours, then put in a holding pattern before landing. And that says nothing about kids. Come to think of it, how are they going to fit into the seats in the first place? Got it! Put two or three in the same seat.  
   
 Better we should put everybody in horizontal bunks stacked four high.

Besides, by the time FAA approves it, all of us will be dead and gone.

Champagne, cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, you name it. Thank God they close the curtain so we  don't have to listen to you bitching and complaining about your cheap seat and lack of service. It's worth the price.

This reminds of an old Southern Airways commercial. I think Southern merged with someone, who merged with Northwest, who merged with Delta, but nevertheless take a look at an old commercial. Does this hit home between the classes? Coach on Southern does have a concentration camp quality about it (lmao) Of course they ruined the commercial at the end with their one class for all crap.
