Everytime I see these I always take solace in one simple fact. This would never be able to pass any disability or accessibility act.
"We'll just put the disabled passengers in the cargo hold. Problem solved."
If I pretend to be disabled can I fly there too?
free sedation! *with service charge
I'll pay extra for good drugs
... I could fly with my dog then? (I've not traveled with her, because being alone in the cargo sounds like a torment I would not wish on anyone). But if I can be there, too, that's a whole other scenario
Not to mention safety requirements for rapidly escaping a plane in the event of an emergency
Though tbf, with planes how often do emergencies fall between the "it's dangerous to stay here" and "you can get off the plane safely if you're quick" thresholds? I'd think that due to their nature, most situations will either be "no rush" or "not much we can do about it now". Things like emergency exits seem more like safety theatre than anything else IMO.
Actually fires and rapid departure are a big deal.
Overall here’s a great video going over how important this whole process is.

Interesting video thanks for the info!

They only put them down the center with regular seats along the windows.
First class, second class, cargo class.
I'm gonna be real, I totally forgot that planes have middle lanes. Every plane that I've ever been on has been a relatively small in comparison. Some of them fucking frighteningly so. When my knees are touching the back of the pilot I'm usually having concerns other than the legroom.
These will not see the light of day until the industry coughs up enough money to buy off enough legislation oversight to make the FAA egress rules "agreeable".
Imagine trying to evacuate in a rush. Also, deep vein thrombosis.
If you can't afford business class seats, are you even worth saving?
Dvt would likely be less of an issue with your legs out vs bent at the knee. Less gravity for your heart to fight against.
DVT is an issue if you're immobile for any decent length of time. Your position doesn't really matter too much. That's why they want you up and walking immediately as soon as possible after a surgery and why they will often put patients with an extended stay in the hospital on blood thinners.
True, though it would be horrifically uncomfortable to be forced to sit like that for 4 hours without the ability to shift positions.
Is this what you meant?
God, that's totally true. I can't imagine how they would try to make that work.
