It's time to start thinking outside the box for the airline industry. Why even have seats?

Why not stacked three level beds? You could get huge numbers of people into a single plane.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Because you'd need good christian republicans patrolling then to make sure no rudeness happened that much closer to the sight of god.

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

LOL

Thinking of it, you could save even more money by sharing bed with someone, just one ticket for two people!

Just pile people on top of each other and call it The Flying Cluster-Fuck™.

That reminds me of this graffiti back in 1968:

"Aimez-vous les uns sur les autres"...

"Ne te courbe que pour aimer..." René Char

I seriously think this is a good idea. With twice as many people on the plane, prices can be cut in half. That means a lot when your fuel bill starts inflating.

A lot of especially young people are ready to stand all kinds of discomforts to save some money on travelling.

For example, I once spent an entire night sleeping on the stone floor of Luton airport (no freaking benches!) waiting for a cheap flight to Marseille... just to save €50 on the ticket price.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
