These standing seats have been coming next year for the past decade, but they always failed safety tests. Planes need to be evacuated within a certain time frame, which does not work when the plane is too densely packed.

There's an idea. Flights that people can make standing, should be banned, except when there is a body of water between the destination.
Airlines: "You're not gonna believe what clouds are made of..."
I declare clouds are not a body of water, merely a spirit of water.
Almost mist that joke
Oh, yes corporations. I guess body of Liquid water then. 😂
Edit: 2x2 Km minimum size.
Next step - put bicycle seats, reducent material for backs. Then add bicycle pedals for engines, to reduce fuel usage. None said anything about actually reducing ticket price by that, high prices stays forever.
Honestly, I'm pretty tall and if it gives more room for my legs, I'd like to have the option
I've always imagined it would be like the seats on a stand-up rollercoaster, which are admittedly pretty comfortable; but if they don't allow you to adjust the height, it could be hell for both short and tall people
Finally more leg room... But now your head bumps against the ceiling and you need to have your head tilted for the entire flight
Same answer as above
Most people can't stand outside of the aisle because this area is meant to be seated (so they put storage space above the head). If the area outside the aisle is meant to be stood (not sure of my english), and they don't remove the storage above the head, people are in their right to luigi those decision makers.
*stood -> standing
I stand corrected
Why do you assume there will be leg room?
This. The who point is to cram more seats than they are currently able
Presumably standing seats means standing up? Hopefully not squatting seats.
Is this gonna be another stand vs. squat debate?
Will the height be adjustable? Otherwise the sitting thing will be either way to low or poking the backs of most people.
Insert short people dangling from them like kids from walkers xD
passengers hanging outside not before 2030
So I guess no putting your head between your knees in the event of a crash then, huh?
The only reason airlines would have you do that in the first place is so you can kiss your ass goodbye.
You need to pass yoga test to afford this seat
Can I just sit on the floor like on a train in Poland?
Thats outdated thing, Polish trains now require You to play tetris, stack layers, that somehow doesn't disappear. It's like first person do sit on floor, then 2nd person sit on 1st, then 3rd sit on 2nd, and so on. Lucky ones who sit on toilet instead.
If you do not sit on the toilet, you become the toilet.
You need to fly somewhere? Okay, fuck you.
Edit: wasn't there just a story about how they are going to offer first class seats with five windows? I guess it is just gods and slobs now.
For a second I thought "Low quality cropping" was a new c/ being announced.
It could be
