Default Glenn F. Tilton up to no good

"Research shows that we lose millions of dollars each month by having them all sit upright in individual seats for the duration of the flight," said CEO Glenn F. Tilton

"However, if we were to remove these seats, we could just sort of stack them all in there, one by one, as they file into the plane."

For all of you UAL guys/gals.......maybe you'll get a laugh or maybe something else.

I know this is a joke, but I'm sure O'Leary has already thought about it.

Already a thread on this:

Actually I recall an aviation week article a few years that talked about an indian airline which was actually contemplating stand-up "seating". I doubt most americans would go for it though.
