They say those seats would be for short flights - two hours or so.
Anywhere I can fly to in 2 hours I can car/train to in 4-5.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. When you consider the time it takes to get to the airport, go through security, etc. - it makes more sense to not fly.

Not really. It's a two hour flight to DC, but a 13-15 hour drive.
If your saying two hours from home to destination, maybe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, a 4-5 hour drive (say NYC-BOS) is an hour flight -- 40 minutes in the air.
Edit: In the air, not in the hair.

Yeah, a direct flight from ATL to BOS is about 2 hours, and it's an 18 hour drive. Even allowing the fact that we live an hour from the airport and check-in, we're waaay ahead flying.
Speaking of air travel, it looks like we all will be going to Annapolis for Thanksgiving. We're talking about an excursion to the Baltimore aquarium - with at least us and my cousin and his 8 and 5 year old daughters. We could also plan some "away from people we are related to" meetup time to improve the overall sanity levels, right? We'll probably have a rental car, so we could even go to DC.

Okay, fair enough. I'd still rather drive 10 hours than spend 2 in one of those seats.

That I won't argue.

Hmm, with my children? Might be a tossup. They'd be amused by the seats, and could play horsie. While after 10 hours in the car, I am usually just sort of murder-suicide.
(Yes, we will be flying ATL to BWI, and it's 1 hr 45 minutes in the air vs. a 12+ (hello, DC traffic!) hour drive.)

Hell, I'm still angry at airlines that charge you extra for headphones.
