I would not be surprised someday to board the aircraft, and be greeted by two lengthwise pipes each side of the aisle, hanging from the ceiling with handle straps. Ahhh, you say to the Stewardess, but where's my seat? And she kindly informs you that you didn't purchase a seat, so "grab on"

In the news today Europe rejected very similar seats to these as being too uncomfortable!
I would recommend the management of any airline that suggests these get a special plane fitted with them and fly them around the world for a week!
