Read the comments here about the "outdated" pmCO business class, and then imagine the uproar if they delivered a new long-haul plane with those seats.
I wonder if they can use a design similar to the columns on the 767 -- just, 1x1 instead of 1x1x1. There's enough overlap that I don't think there's going to be a ton of wasted space.

I think they'll do it for marketing purposes, not due to competition. "Every Polaris flight features direct aisle access at every seat!"

Almost certainly.
