Intriguing but the seat-relative-to-window (and direction of travel) seems troublesome for comfort

Though that's not much different than the current Polaris seat (at least for seats with window access...me thinks the middles may be a bit different but I've never looked at them)...there are other methods of communication but one wonders of perhaps the cabin density could be countered with a enclosed "huddle space" for those that need to conduct business without the rest of us needing to hear about your M&A strategy....it won't happen, particularly on a narrow body but one could dream.

I'm a little more concerned about if overhead bins can cope with this because it is both a high density and doesn't (appear to) have a meaningful under seat option meaning all bags will be forced up top.
