Spring Airlines considers standing-room tickets
Remember a few years ago when Airbus was considering standing-room only economy class tickets? Well it looks like the aircraft manufacturer might have its first taker. Spring Airlines could submit the idea for approval within the year.
I guess this will bring up entirely new issues of when it's appropriate to be out of your "seat."

| Yes, but only if my ticket were a few bucks cheaper. | |
| Yes, but only if my ticket were substantially cheaper (50% or more). | |

I am game for the bar stool seating only if they are around a real bar with complimentary cocktails. If I am gonna die when the plane crashes, at least I'll be happily intoxicated.

The airlines would also save money because they would no longer be able to get the drinks and peanuts down the isle. I wonder how fun it would be to get to the bathroom?

If it were a short flight (less than an hour), I would consider it IF the price was right.
