They look like those seats they put up at bus stops in the city!

Personally I can't see how they would pass a safety test for landing or takeoff as you have so little back support.

A couple of years ago Michael O'Leary the Chief Executive of Ryanair, suggested similar arrangements for his company's B737 aircraft.

Not surprisingly, the proposals were given short shrift by one of the regulatory bodies although it was not revealed which one.

The refusal prompted the usual splenetic response from O'Leary who gives every indication of being a thoroughly disagreeable individual.

Under current standards. Never underestimate the power of Airbus+Boeing+airlines.
