Saddle Up for Low Cost Airfares!

[JackLuis]

A new design for economy class airline seating gives a new meaning to the term "cattle class" -- as passengers would sit on saddle-type seats, even closer to the person in front than now.

The SkyRider "is intended as a new basic class. The passenger?s seating position is similar to that of a touring motor-scooter rider,"

I guess there are no Nuts either?

Replace those saddle seats with Sybians, and they'll make a fortune.

I thought the same thing! The only way I could stand a two hour flight in a saddle is if there was something "attached" to it!

Why hasn't anyone started "Kink Airlines" yet?

I loved this bit:

" '"With a much reduced seat pitch, the SkyRider preserves a comfortable position for the low fare passengers,' said the company as the new seats were presented at the Aircraft Interiiors Expo Americas trade fair. "

Some fool wanna ride a "winged" horse for a few hours ?
Gonna add "saddle sore" to the list of physical complaints.

I used to live in San Diego. The 'saddle seats' wouldn't be all that bad for a flight from SAN to LAX or SAN to PHX.

You can't move. You can't lean back. You can't avoid smelling your neighbors' halitosis.

Ouch! Roller coaster seating is more comfortable and you're only in those for 90 seconds.
