Is anyone else concerned that the OP had a Delta shortbread cookie? The ones they serve in first class?!? Could the OP have purchased an upgrade or bribed the FA?
Unless the OP is confusing shortbread with Biscoff.
It's a biscoff. Yeah. Sorry. Got my cookie types mixed up. Didn't know they had special cookies for first class. Don't care, as I will never fly first class, nor do I have any desire to do something so inefficient. I don't fly enough to get free upgrades, and I wouldn't pay anything to upgrade.

If they can prove that it's equally as safe as being in a seat, than I would fully support them running like a subway. However, I don't think that they could make it as safe as being in a seat during a crash landing. Unless they pack the people in so tight.... Efficiency and low cost are the goals. Airlines shouldn't be striving to be comfortable. That's not their job. Their job to get as many butts from point A to point B in the most efficient, lowest cost manner possible. I would also support charging passenger by the pound, a "fat tax" so to speak, as it's a true measure of how much it costs the airline in fuel burn. It might end up hurting me, as I'm a bit bigger, but oh well, it would certainly be a fair system. Encouraging people financially to lose weight couldn't hurt.
