if the ailrines want to experiment with this idea,they will need to drop load capacity on every plane that flies ..2 by 3 seating or 3 by 3 seating or even the 2 by 4 by 2 seating on larger planes is common,so it will take some doing..then there is the issues of,will the public actually want to start flying again anytime soon...
