Lovely article. I would love a follow on about how to get around the main problem for people with low mobility and energy, the airline cattlecar setup. It’s just punishing, physically and mentally. There really should be rules for more humane minimum seat size and spacing. Airplane evacuation tests should be done only after people have had to sit in full test sections for at least six hours, with tall and elderly volunteers, and reclinable seats. Then let’s see how easy it is to evacuate.
