You think you hate sitting next to fat people now...

[Notwithstanding]

How did we get to the point where commercial enterprises MUST - under penalty of law - offer one-size-fits-all accommodation?

I say this because I am sure if they did this and fatties could not fit, the airline would be sued for some federal anti-fatty discrimination rule.

These must be for commuter flights to Sardinia...

What is semi standing seating? Or semi seating standing? You get in a plane and they strap you to a wall and tell you to shut up. Not much different from what they offer now.

Oh hell, why not just be done with it, and install tiger cages in the cargo hold. We’ll call it “steerage” class. Oh wait. We already have steerage class, except it’s euphemistically named “economy” class. Guess we’ll have to come up with a new name in that case. How about “cargo” class, or maybe even “prisoner” class, though I have to tell you, I already feel that way about “steerage”, uh, I mean “economy” class.

The airlines and the government are both hostile to air travelers; everyday it's more regulation and more hassle to fly anywhere.

They will eventually do to air passengers what over-regulation did to American business...run them elsewhere. Of course then they'll be crying the blues.

All of a sudden many businesses think they are the government - treat you like crap, regulate you to death, take all your money, and then expect you to like it or else.

Yet another reason to never provide a nickel to the airlines.
