That is one of my favorite movies...when I went to see that in 1975, I was scared to go swimming in my swimming pool that night.
I used to live in the Philippines as a kid, and we frequently used to go swimming in those 20 foot deep tropical waters at night...didn’t give it a second thought. Now, I don’t think I could EVER go back into those waters at night, unless the ship I was on sunk from underneath me.

Perhaps they should allow some passengers to fly inside the cargo section...

You realize these seats would not be allowed in a prisoner camp. no joke.
They would be considered torture devices.

Fortunately there aren’t any potential passengers with hip problems or replaced hip joints so this should work out just fine. </s

I’ve learned never to say “never”, but I’m not too worried about this. Every airliner is limited to a maximum number of passengers which is set by evacuation time requirements. You might be able to physically fit 250 people into a 737, but the FAA could have to change their rules or Boeing would have to design and install extra exit doors before the interior could be certified.

Will those cushions serve as a “floatation device”?

Precisely. Crazy comment and comparison to evoke. “Flying in a plane is as comfortable as riding a horse.” ‘Cept you can’t go where you want, when you want.

I think you are seriously unclear on the concept.

My problem isnt the width of the seat, but the lack of shoulder room. This wont help a bit! 10-4 on that one. Middle narrow seats say on a 737 or similar are the pits especially if another larger passenger sitting besides it. Would like a foward elbow rest to tuck shoulders/elbows inward.
