Are they for real? Standing room on planes.

A PRIVATE airline in China is submitting plans for journeys where passengers can opt to stand to save money.

You could not PAY ME to go on a plane where I was expected to stand. They argue that there will be some sort of belted “bar stool” configuration… right. Smacks of safety, doesn’t it? Flying is scary enough as it is without being expected to stand. A plane is not like a bus. Well, it is sort of – a bus in the sky – but one shouldn’t have to stand! What gets me is this “standing to save money” thing. So many budget airlines offer fairs for so damn cheap as it is, and you get a seat. How cheap, exactly, will these fares have to be, to make standing sound like a good deal??
