I am still not sure it will be widely passed, simply for the safety issues. But in China?

In Airbus A380s they are considering installing these vertical backboards to "seat" belt yourself to. That way they can get 800 people in that plane instead of merely 500. Imagine that on a flight between Paris and Sydney, about 20 hours of standing. And only the midsection of the plane would be like that. I guess Ch9ina's focus group had no African Americans on it. <br /><br />The slave ship does however represent "flying economy class" taken to the logical conclusion. And it was "no frills flying" at an incredibly inhumane extreme. 20 percent or more would die during the 2 month flight due to complete lack of sanitation, poor ventilation, heat, poor food nasty water, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
