On the Zodiac aircraft, the possible problem with middle seat pairs is that the movable center privacy partitions are in fact immovable on most aircraft. Whether they’re up or down depends on how ground crew set them, and there’s no standard. My wife requires administered medication in flight on longer sectors, and when our 77W was changed for a 772-Zodiac we were in middle seats with a fixed raised center divider, so I had to go around to her aisle to do that.

I read your post above about the dividers on the Zodiac aircraft that might be in the fixed upright position. It occurred to me that if you found yourself in middle seats on the B-E aircraft -- that even though the divider might be down between the middle seats, you would probably find that it's still essentially impossible to reach into your wifes seat area. I noted in the other thread that your heads would be about 10 to 12 feet from each other while sitting and even while you are both standing as close to each as you could be that you would still be about 6 feet away from each other. Do you think I'm correct about those figures? (I haven't actually ever been in the Bus. Cl. seats on the B-E Aircraft before). So even on the B-E type aircraft, wouldn't you still have to walk around to the other aisle?
BTW my wife also needs attention from time to time but if I can see that she is OK then half my problems are taken care of.
