What about folks with bad hips who don't qualify for handicapped spaces? That's an ADA lawsuit waiting to happen. And pregnant ladies (who are not an ADA lawsuit waiting to happen, despite the grammar or lack thereof).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
When I first saw those seats, I thought it was a joke.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It seems I cannot wear rings yet. That was kinda ouchy. That swelling can go down anytime. I'm the Stay Puft Lady.
I refuse to believe in those seats. I wouldn't want those on the bus. I probably wouldn't use those at the bus stop.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
They say those seats would be for short flights - two hours or so. Hopefully in the future we'll have high-speed rail that can get us to our destinations faster than flying for such short trips.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
In the future, airlines will use suspended animation and stack us in the plane like those bodies in the movie Coma.

I totally believe that they're just biding their time until that becomes acceptable. And I'm not remotely kidding.

I fully expect them to stack us in tubes and charge extra for the coma.

I remember a Steven King short story where they did that. Except it was for traveling to Mars.

In the future, the cheapest airline seats will work like this: When you arrive at the airport, they cut off your head and stick it in a cardboard box. Then when you land, they attach your head to somebody else's body. When you do your return trip, you'll supposedly get your original body back, but you know how airlines lose your luggage now? Yeah, that'll happen to your body. Eventually no one will care.
