Weight repartition and balance is extremely important in an aircraft. If everyone moved to one end of the aircraft it could cause loss of control and crash

Skill issue. Pilots need to learn to think on their feet.

Their seats weren't installed either

Then they can't see over the console. Surely you noticed there aren't any seats, right?

DO A BARREL ROLL!

Simple solution is to pack enough people in that they can't move like that

Ya, maybe like on seats with, dunno, belts?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Sounds space inefficient just add more people instead

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Can confirm, seats are big and heavy, that's valuable people space.

Also, remove the luggage storage for more people weight capacity.

I mean, it's possible to have around 1100 people in a B747, so yeah that checks out

It's quite scary to think that you can crash an airplane by having everyone walk to one end

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why break the cockpit doors when you can just get a bunch of terrorists strategically running around the plane to manipulate it just at the right angle of attack to steer it towards a building?

Oh no! Tsa will be taking away our trainers next.

This is how we, the people, shall regain power from those pilots who think they know everything!!!!

a change in weight distribution is cited as one of the reasons for the crash of this us cargo flight in afghanistan.
