        … 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.

      They only put them down the center with regular seats along the windows.

      First class, second class, cargo class.

        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.

        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?
