  1. I'd be surprised if that seat would survive FAA mandated crash tests
  2. In order to receive certification, the aircraft manufactuer has to show that in the event of an emergency the entire aircraft can be evacuated within a certain period if time (something like 90 seconds???). I don't see how people (especially those of size) would be able to evacuate the aircraft within the time required.
  3. No working, eating, drinking or AVOD - count me out.
