  Idk with the US safety standards being a lot worse than European countries I wouldn’t be shocked if it comes here first. Especially to an airline like spirit

    I just dont think you have as many short haul flights in the US where this sort of thing would not be as big of a deal.

      We have lots of flights in the Midwest that are quite literally 15 minute flights. And what makes you think they would put these in short flights? The would absolutely try putting these in the major flights to make more money. Imagine New York to California non stop and how many people are on those planes and how much each ticket is. Now imagine if you can double the amount of people on that flight by having people stand the entire time. Don’t you think double the profit is an extreme motivator for a company that only cares about profits?
