Of Interest to this Conference

3” Wider middle seat does not make overall 3-row seat any longer (which allows the airlines to use this seat without any regulatory hurdles)

Staggered design – shoulders, elbows, thighs, not longer adjacent

When seats slid over Aisle is 43 inches wide....facilitate in flight bathroom visits from front and back rows of aircraft in larger skychair/wheelchair?? Is this a problem?

Convertible seat option

Since I first reached out Brandon (AAPR) and Peggy (NAAFA) have been huge supporters of our idea.
