How about just bunk beds with seat belts or some kind of restraint and a paddled ceiling inside your bed space.

The next dumb thing to having an completely open floor space is in installing seats and normalizing the idea that people should sit in them for 8, 10, 12, 14 hours periods.

The only time we need seats with restraints is in the ten minutes after take off and the ten minutes when landing .... the rest of the time, I would prefer if I just slept the entire time.

I'd give up TV, a monitor, music, a window, free food and drinks if airlines just gave me a bare bones option of just being allowed to sleep flat for the entire flight.

They have that on routes to Floston Paradise.

There are several ways they could do stacked beds or offset-stacked reclined seats that would not only be more comfortable and provide more room for the passengers, but also allow them to cram more people in the plane.

That's a thing already and it is called first class.

Could never afford it ... my point was ... I'd pay regular fare to be able to lie flat for the entire flight and you can forget giving me a TV monitor, entertainment, free food, just give me water, don't even bother with a blanket or pillow .... you can even stack me with three or four other bunks above or below me ... I don't even want a window ... I don't want to interact with your staff and I really don't want to have anything to do with anyone or bother with anyone for the entire flight ... just let me sleep in peace for eight hours, it's cheap and I really don't care or want any extras.

And you still get all the other stuff, so the only thing you have to give up is a lot of money

Weight repartition and balance is extremely important in an aircraft. If everyone moved to one end of the aircraft it could cause loss of control and crash

They should fly up as high as possible and take a nose dive, then repeat the process. Let's call it Floating Xperience.

The Vomit Comet exists.

It's Boeing, they do that anyway.

I want hammocks like a man o' war.

Stack em three high and still have some legroom.

Fewer parts = fewer parts that can fail.

Boeing should look into this.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 2 points 29 minutes ago

Too bad they’re not having problems when the interior parts fail.

Then everyone decides to look out the left windows at the grand canyon.

And then slowly shifts to the back of the plane because they want to see it longer.

Soon they'll see it up close.

They could at least set up a kid corral somewhere, let the little shots wear themselves out.

Just eject them at maximum altitude

Abortion isn't legal but human rights violations aren't really being punished right now

That interior instantly made me think of lazy town

I know this is a shitpost, but in case anyone is curious this link has a video of what can happen if a plane has unsecured weight onboard that is allowed to move around.

Damn that would be dope if it was stable enough. So Star Trek. Just needs a bar run by Whoopi Goldberg

If your vessel's bartender has eyebrows and doesn't wear a cool hat, something has gone wrong.

Yeah, very Enterprise-D

Line dance during take-off: "now sliiiiide to the back!"
