Now that airlines have started adding wheel locks to their drink carts, less than half of flights have one accidentally fall out through the hole.

Why does the fighter escort waste the space on its wings?

They’re weight-limited rather than space-limited

So they’re carry-on only seats with no extra baggage?

Putting your luggage on the main plain incentivises you to protect it.

And who is pedaling?

Jets are powered by hamsters in wheels. That’s why they don’t need pedals.

Wow, has it been that long since I last flew? We didn’t even have the hole, let alone the tail gunners. Once we’d hit an aircow or two we’d have swarms of them coming at us constantly, biting at the tail of the plane. Meanwhile the first set of pilots are being replaced because the lack of cow catcher just let them right in through the front windshield. Truly a terrible experience, 7/10 would fly again but only on sale.

You still can smoke on planes. It just got much more expensive.

Take your angry upvote and go make cheeseburgers :|

Though that does make one wonder… Cows with guns versus SkyNet?

Lots of wasted space on the tail. Could’ve fit a ball pit or two back there.

Everyone’s going for the gunner seats… An I the only one whose restless legs are excited to have the opportunity to pedal?

I’d rather the mega-fun bumper car seats

Imagine a coast-to-coast red eye in the bumper car seats. Or a transatlantic flight. RIP anyone on a non-stop from Singapore to NYC. And that’s assuming there’s no turbulence…

After about an hour, someone would figure out how to get the bumper cars out of the arena and there’d be a death match by the trash hole.

Yes, but allow me to present this compelling counter proposal:

Dakka-dakka-dakka-dakka-dakka…
