Apparently Spring Airline in China doesn&#8217;t have enough planes to support all the customers they are getting inspite of them ordering new planes.

This will allow them to fit upto 40% more passengers.<\/p>\n<p>However if any of you have ever sat on a bar stool, you will realize that its not the world&#8217;s most comfortable seating option and I just can&#8217;t imagine people sitting on them for long periods of time. Although if the bar-stools were next to a bar, I am sure they will get a lot of takers.  <\/p>\n<p>The second problem I see is the safety issue. I can&#8217;t think of any safe way they can attach a seatbelt on a bar-stool. If this was possible then I am sure it would have already been implemented in bars around the world to keep their drunken clients safely seated&#8230; \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>I am sure that this is just a what-if exercise that was leaked to the press and not something serious. Although, if it was serious it might be a good way for them to carry more passengers on short flights. <\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/dvice.com\/archives\/2009\/07\/chinese-airline.php\">DVICE.com<\/a><br \/>\nThanks to : <a href=\"http:\/\/www.therawfeed.com\/2009\/07\/chinese-airline-barstools-could-fit-40.html\">The Raw Feed<\/a> for the original link.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Suramya<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t know if its true or not but its been getting a lot of press.
