Bigger Airline Batches?

Airbus denies report it has plans for standing room on jets – Apr. 25, 2006

Ugh, is Airbus really investigating the idea of almost 900 people on a single airplane? Why not let us lay down and stack us in like those tiny Japanese hotel cubes?

Are bigger batches really the best thing for airlines? I bet the “financials” on it look good, but who is thinking about the customer?
