Perhaps for a short commuter hop if I had a meeting or event to attend emergently, but not as a regular or money-saving method of travel.
What if the standing-room passenger gets sick? Are they in any more danger from turbulence or landing problems? With the current litigious nature of life in these United States, I can't see the FAA going for it.

You know...some of you people really should consider working in the airline industry! You all are coming up with excellent cost cutting ideas! That stacking one is by far the best utilization of space idea!
Maybe we should copyright all the ideas in this thread!

Sue - great visual! I'm laughing at the image of all of us being lined up on hand-trucks. The airline could line us up, and give a big shove to get us down the aisle to the cattle-car section. It would provide free entertainment to the seated passengers who will now be paying $2,000 for a one-way ticket.

Oh come on, this idea is so unoriginal, it's been around for ages...

I like the idea of stacking though, they could even consider rotating everyone occasionally, like the rotisserie at the grocery store.

oh...well...there's something else to consider now. Should it be free or will they use it as another way to make money?
So now we'll have the tanning standing section and the non tanning section.
