In a worst case scenario event, I’m not sure I want to have to evacuate from a smoke filled cabin and have a ladder involved in the process. Seems like a risk for falls/breaks/sprains if you’re trying to peace out of the plane quickly.
I'd take that chance any day for a much more comfortable flight. Very rarely do you even have the chance to escape when something is wrong with your plane while it's in the air.
Agreed. With ladders protruding into the walkway, it’s a hazard for the person descending and everyone else behind them in the cabin, and if it’s on both sides of the aircraft, just think of the potential blockages turning regular coach class behind this section into a potential deathtrap.
I think the only serious answer to this issue is to reduce the number of seats everywhere on all flights, raise prices heavily, and let the high prices and scarcity of seating dissuade people from flying except in extreme cases when it’s worth the money.
Especially finding ways to force businesses to do this, and simply refactor to use teleconferencing, regional offices, etc., and stop having commercial business activities that require flights.
