    So it adds weight, makes it harder to board and deboard, and doesn't allow the airlines to fit more passengers? Sounds like it's sure to succeed.

      Can you imagine having to go up and down stairs to get out of your seat? Also a nightmare for ADA/Disability compliance

        And not only that but if you're up on the lifted seat you don't actually get any more legroom because you'd kick the person below you in the head so they put a wall there.
