New meaning to the term "cattle class" seating

Gosh, these look comfy... The world's tiniest airline seat the 'Skyrider' | News.com.au

Imagine sitting in these for 15 hours?

“The seat is like a saddle. Cowboys ride eight hours on their horses during the day and still feel comfortable in it,”
I'd suggest that 'comfort' is a subjective term when mustering cattle all day. I'm sure it's more comfortable to be on the horse than, lets say, being dragged to death behind it. But only mildly so.

Was on tv a few weeks ago. Not for long haul and not good for anyone over 6 foot tall.

Doesn't matter how many seats they can get in. It won't change the length of the average thigh bone and the space it needs to fit with the seat in front of it.

It was once suggested in my workplace that one-legged stools would be an excellent way to stop controllers from falling asleep on night shifts.
