The Intelligent Aerospace take:
July 22, 2019- Frequent fliers have their preference - aisle or window. Of course, "middle seat" is an option, but I'd have to think a list of people that really, really prefer to sit between the window and aisle would be roughly as long as the list of people who enjoy trips to the dentist. I'm sure they exist, but I don't know that I fully trust them.
However, the small company of Molon Labe Seating of Denver, Colorado, has made the middle seat experience a bit less uncomfortable with its S1 seating solution. The middle seat sits slightly behind and the other two seats to provide everyone with a bit more shoulder and elbow room on shorter commuter flights. The company also has a pair of models designed for long-haul flights, though they still need to be approved by agencies.
