These people smile like they’ve never rode in an airplane with more than 3 people
This is really, REALLY stupid
Those three passengers are sure to have some great bonding time down there in that claustrophobic space 🤦♂️
Please, seat companies, stop giving the airlines ideas!
Window seat dude needs to take a piss, watch the fun …
Also, why the fuck is she smiling?!
I think these only go down the center based on the photo.
She’s smiling because she’s being paid to smile.
They only put them down the center with regular seats along the windows.
First class, second class, cargo class.
Dvt would likely be less of an issue with your legs out vs bent at the knee. Less gravity for your heart to fight against.
True, though it would be horrifically uncomfortable to be forced to sit like that for 4 hours without the ability to shift positions.
DVT is an issue if you’re immobile for any decent length of time. Your position doesn’t really matter too much. That’s why they want you up and walking immediately as soon as possible after a surgery and why they will often put patients with an extended stay in the hospital on blood thinners.
“We’ll just put the disabled passengers in the cargo hold. Problem solved.”
Not to mention safety requirements for rapidly escaping a plane in the event of an emergency
Though tbf, with planes how often do emergencies fall between the “it’s dangerous to stay here” and “you can get off the plane safely if you’re quick” thresholds? I’d think that due to their nature, most situations will either be “no rush” or “not much we can do about it now”. Things like emergency exits seem more like safety theatre than anything else IMO.
Actually fires and rapid departure are a big deal.
Overall here’s a great video going over how important this whole process is.
