So...is every aircraft going to be built with three aisles from now on? Otherwise the "window" passenger is going to get the shaft when they have to get up.
And this will really work wonders in an emergency, I think.
Plus the whole flying backward thing. Yep, there's a reason most concepts never make it off the drawing board.

I like riding/flying backwards. I used to love the seating sections with tables that some airlines had. WN still has some, I believe.

I'm not old enough to have done it, but my dad talks about the days that he and my mom would invite one of their bridge couples to NYC with them for the weekend and they would play at one of those tables the whole way over.

I hope I never have to fly this configuration. I've been in BA Clubworld - I actually liked that configuration. As a solo traveller, I wouldn't have been comfortable without the 'fan' that provides privacy between the seats. If I had been travelling with a companion, I still don't think I would have felt as comfortable with that arrangement as I would with a side-by-side configuration.
And...looks like with this config, there won't be any more chances to stretch out across the seats on less-than-full redeyes...
Also would have made it a lot less convenient for us to handle our little ones when we travelled with them...
