Chinese have already done it on short flights. You basically lean back 5 degrees on a board. Takes away the need for knee room and you can pack'em in like sardines.

Unconscious people cost less money to take care of.  At least for periods of less than twenty-four hours.  They sure as fuck complain less.

Plus I generally hate flying, so I'd rather sleep through it.

For the boredom/cattle car experience, not out of fear.

Hell, knock me out at home so I can avoid TSA pricks, too.

Being knocked out might mean getting violated by TSA pricks.

Doesn't that happen anyhow?  Isn't it a federal crime not to do what they say already?

You might have an idea. My longest flight has been 13 hours and I was deathly afraid to sleep. One for dieing in my sleep and the other Gordo can attest to being killed in my sleep.

It's not a bad idea overall, but they should think about going horizontal instead.  Bunks would let them get many more people in as well, but with more comfort than standing.  And no one likes sitting in those crappy seats anyway, so why not?
