What about the safety.
How are you going to "fasten your seat belts",
when there are no seats ????
Cannot see how they manage. They have 767-200 - exactly like Maxjet. And Maxjet has 102 seats in 767-200. How can Silverjet get any bigger beds than Maxjet?
Anyway, some airlines are said to have beds which can be reclined on takeoff. Virgin Atlantic Upper Class seats have airbags and can be kept reclined. And the BA Club World backfacing seats are also said to be not quite upright on takeoff/landing.
