I hope whomever needs to approve this says "No way!" and that no US airlines think "Hey, this is a good idea".
Spring Airlines considers standing-room tickets
I don't think the U.S. airlines could do that even if they wanted to. Everyone has to be fastened in during takeoff and landing, even the flight attendants.
(btw, airbus always vehemently denied that rumor that it was building standing room planes)

I flew a domestic flight on Aerflot a few years ago and not only were people standing throughout the flight, but animals were allowed onboard. There were dogs and a few goats--to say nothing of the smoking in the cabin.
I couldn't wait for the flight to end!
