One Day, That Economy Ticket May Buy You a Place to Stand
By CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT

The airlines have come up with a new answer to an old question: How
many passengers can be squeezed into economy class?


A lot more, it turns out, especially if an idea still in the early
stage should catch on: standing-room-only "seats."

I read it too.. and no.. I think the airlines would do it in a heartbeat if
they could get away with it.

Hmmm,

The version of this story that I saw mentioned on TV also contained a quote
from Airbus stating that this was a concept they looked at maybe 10-15 years
ago but subsequently abandoned.

Looks like somebody was dumpster diving in Tolouse and came up with an
oldie...
