I noticed this at the bottom of the article, thank goodness:

Correction: May 4, 2006
A front-page article on April 25 about seating options that airlines are
considering to accommodate more passengers in economy class referred
incorrectly to the concept of carrying passengers standing up with
harnesses holding them in position. During preparation of the article,
The Times's questions to one aircraft manufacturer, Airbus, were

And if you want a pressurized cabin, that'll be extra too.

The economy section is to be duct-taped to a wing.

To be honest, we fly Southwest almost always, and can live with the
crackers and peanuts in exchange for pleasant people, clean planes,
leather seats, reliable schedules, reasonable fares and what seems to be
decent maintenance. I have no problem with other airlines, but like the
attitude of the SWA people best.

You do if you fly spirit you get several snacks! and free soda, juice

I opt to fly Spirit cause if you add up the extras with the others its
the least expensive in most cases, and there is lots of leg room.
ashame they do not fly to San Juan or aruba

Susette, Spirit certainly does charge you for everything, juice, soda,
even water. And none of their luggage is free. They do fly to San
Juan, as well. Perhaps you're thinking of another airline?

Yeah, but today I could have booked a flight non-stop from A.C. to Ft
Myers Feb. 20-27 for $3 each way. For my husband and I the total cost
was $54, which included taxes and fees. However, my husband can't get
that week off from work. But I did get a flight for March 5-13 for $9
each way.

I just got r/t tickets from Shreveport to Las Vegas for $58 pp plus tax and
fees (Allegiant Air). We hadn't planned on going anywhere this month but
with these cheapo tickets plus some comped hotel rooms... we decided to go.

Times are tough out in Vegas... hotels are very cheap and even the major
airlines have reduced rates.

I think Susette is thinking about SouthWest. Once you pay for your
flight there are no other charges, free snacks, drinks etc. You can even
change your flight and there is no change-fee. Very comfortable seats
and friendly and efficient crew.

Ok, this is just a midday rant, lol...but just booked my flights for
the GGC down to Fort Lauderdale in February and....on Spirit Air,
which generally I like (new planes, leather seats) it was $15 to check
a bag (x2) and $24 to get assigned seats for $54 total! And people
say you get nickle and dimed on cruises....lol. Oy!!!

That is becoming the norm around the World. Wait until they start charging $1 a sheet for toilet paper!

That's when I crap in the aisle.

Need you ask? You know you are welcome to go with us, Susie. George's
birthday is on the 11th, so we thought we would celebrate by going to
Vegas to see Bette Midler. Or was that my idea???
