I guess the new seat pans would be placed on the existing frames--but it's too bad, if the seat pans are thinner, that they couldn't be left at the existing height or even raised a little, providing more room for carry-on storage and/or feet/legs (i.e., rather than the top dropping an inch, the bottom would be an inch higher). I can't think of a passenger I've seen who has had a headroom issue when seated.
