There we go! Wider seats. That's a start. It ain't gonna fly. I can tell you a little story about just the opposite. The airline I worked for (wont say the name but it rhymes with Northwest) configured two 747-200's for exclusive use on NRT-HNL (Tokyo-Honolulu) routes. They were called the beach configuration. 454 passengers. If I remember right, 420 in coach, 34 in business. Normal 747 seated less than 400. They could do it the other way, removing seats for the U.S. sized passenger but that would mean less revenue. Option out the window then.
