You assume there won't be windows.

Since the beds would be stacked, there probably wouldn't be windows
for everyone, unless the plane was re-designed to have more or taller
windows. Some passengers would be too high or too low for the
existing windows.

Those who are at the correct height would have the choice of facing
the window or facing the aisle. Or they could switch from one to the
other as often as they liked (except perhaps during the brief "fasten
seatbelt" periods).

Every time I bring it up, the Ignore-o-Matic kicks in.

Sigh. I am not deliberately ignoring anything. But I do have a
finite amount of time for posting. I should have more time now that
my mother is finally out of the hospital. It's much easier to get to
her home than to get to that hospital.

Visual cues, remember? Should I send this post "Receipt Requested"
so you will take note of this point at last?

Sigh. As if you always responded to every point I make.

I wouldn't care to ride long distance without windows, either.

The majority of airline passengers don't have window seats today.
