Standing room only plane trip. General admission tickets. Have a sky moshpit.
Weight repartition and balance is extremely important in an aircraft. If everyone moved to one end of the aircraft it could cause loss of control and crash
Skill issue. Pilots need to learn to think on their feet.
Why can’t they stay sitting?
Their seats weren’t installed either
Then they can’t see over the console. Surely you noticed there aren’t any seats, right?
DO A BARREL ROLL!
It’s quite scary to think that you can crash an airplane by having everyone walk to one end
Why break the cockpit doors when you can just get a bunch of terrorists strategically running around the plane to manipulate it just at the right angle of attack to steer it towards a building?
Oh no! Tsa will be taking away our trainers next.
This is how we, the people, shall regain power from those pilots who think they know everything!!!
Simple solution is to pack enough people in that they can’t move like that
Ya, maybe like on seats with, dunno, belts?
Sounds space inefficient just add more people instead
I mean, it’s possible to have around 1100 people in a B747, so yeah that checks out
Can confirm, seats are big and heavy, that’s valuable people space.
Also, remove the luggage storage for more people weight capacity.
a change in weight distribution is cited as one of the reasons for the crash of this us cargo flight in afghanistan.

Fewer parts = fewer parts that can fail.
Boeing should look into this.
Too bad they’re not having problems when the interior parts fail.
Probably because Boeing don’t make the seats.

I think this is actually a demo setup by boeing - there are track systems that the seat rows anchor into on actual aircraft, and those tracks are flush with the carpet.
They should fly up as high as possible and take a nose dive, then repeat the process. Let’s call it Floating Xperience.
It’s Boeing, they do that anyway.
Not the repeating part
That’s part of astronaut training, they call it the vomit comet.
Vomiting in the cockpit sounds a bit difficult to deal with after.
The Vomit Comet exists.
That’s basically what parabolic flights for simulating low or no gravity are.
ohhhh so that’s where the set designers of all the star trek interiors got their ideas
Nah, Star Trek is where Boeing is shopping for ideas.
How about just bunk beds with seat belts or some kind of restraint and a paddled ceiling inside your bed space.
The next dumb thing to having an completely open floor space is in installing seats and normalizing the idea that people should sit in them for 8, 10, 12, 14 hours periods.
The only time we need seats with restraints is in the ten minutes after take off and the ten minutes when landing … the rest of the time, I would prefer if I just slept the entire time.
I’d give up TV, a monitor, music, a window, free food and drinks if airlines just gave me a bare bones option of just being allowed to sleep flat for the entire flight.
That’s a thing already and it is called first class.
Could never afford it … my point was … I’d pay regular fare to be able to lie flat for the entire flight and you can forget giving me a TV monitor, entertainment, free food, just give me water, don’t even bother with a blanket or pillow … you can even stack me with three or four other bunks above or below me … I don’t even want a window … I don’t want to interact with your staff and I really don’t want to have anything to do with anyone or bother with anyone for the entire flight … just let me sleep in peace for eight hours, it’s cheap and I really don’t care or want any extras.
And you still get all the other stuff, so the only thing you have to give up is a lot of money
They have that on routes to Floston Paradise.
I unironically think this is how plane travel should be. Slide me into a tube and gas me asleep. No peanuts, no crick neck, no risk of hijacking, and no praying and screaming when we slam into a mountain at 900km/h because the pilots had a bad day.
It may be longer than you think.
There are several ways they could do stacked beds or offset-stacked reclined seats that would not only be more comfortable and provide more room for the passengers, but also allow them to cram more people in the plane.
I feel like you could make a laying-down seatbelt (if it crashes, we’re fucked anyway) and I should definitely be able to lay down proper.
Then everyone decides to look out the left windows at the grand canyon.
And then slowly shifts to the back of the plane because they want to see it longer.
Soon they’ll see it up close.
Just install two layers of beds with seatbelts, imo.
I want hammocks like a man o’ war.
Stack em three high and still have some legroom.
Damn that would be dope if it was stable enough. So Star Trek. Just needs a bar run by Whoopi Goldberg
If your vessel’s bartender has eyebrows and doesn’t wear a cool hat, something has gone wrong.
No cool hat, but is a Space Station a vessel? 🤔
Yeah, very Enterprise-D

I know this is a shitpost, but in case anyone is curious this link has a video of what can happen if a plane has unsecured weight onboard that is allowed to move around.
And here’s the Wikipedia page about the incident, which has more details:
On 29 April 2013, the Boeing 747-400 operating the flight crashed within the perimeter of the Bagram airfield moments after taking off, killing all seven people on board.
The subsequent investigation concluded that improperly secured cargo broke free during the take-off and rolled to the back of the cargo hold, crashing through the rear pressure bulkhead and disabling the rear flight control systems. This rendered the aircraft stuck in an uncontrollable pitch-up attitude and induced a stall, and made recovery by the pilots impossible.
So it’s not just unsecured cargo, but unsecured cargo that disabled rear flight control systems. I’m guessing unsecured people wouldn’t cause the same problem, but it could certainly cause other problems.
Yeah people are squishier than the fuselage.
That interior instantly made me think of lazy town
Knew what it was before I even clicked. You sir are an internet historian.
Na you can only do that in an airbus
They could at least set up a kid corral somewhere, let the little shots wear themselves out.
Just eject them at maximum altitude
Abortion isn’t legal but human rights violations aren’t really being punished right now
And depending on where you’re going, it would likely happen in international airspace.
