Would you book with an airline that uses these?

It reminds me of an exercise machine. Doesn't look very comfortable. I'd hate to sit in that for 14+ hours.

Not me. Not even on a short half hour commuter flight. But the article goes one better. How would you like to board a plane and find this? This sentence is in the same article!

"Some airlines like Ryanair and Spring Airlines, a low-cost carrier in China, have looked at the option of allowing passengers to stand during flights."

Very sorry, Spring and Ryanair. When I fly somewhere, I'm sitting!

Speaking of Ryanair the pan-European Irish budget carrier, we took them once to Spain a couple of years ago and found they use non-reclining seats! not that far removed from doug's pic. Not even a pocket in front to put a newspaper - even the safety card was simply stuck onto the backs of the seat!

And that's in first class! You should see economy!

If they do that, I'll use the barf bag and give them a little surprise at the end of the flight . . .

No, doesn't look comfortable. But I could do without windows. This would make planes a bit cheaper and lighter. Most of the time, there isn't much to see, especially for those without a window seat. They could instead show the captain's view on the LCD-screen. Submarines don't have windows, why do planes need windows for the passengers?

Many people (me included) get sick/dizzy when they are in a moving vehicle without the possibility to orientate themselves.
