What if ... how much damage would be done to the day's financials if a passenger tried to assume the brace position during the safety briefing, found he/she couldn't accomplish it due to the seats being too close together and firmly insisted on being allowed off the aircraft on the grounds of being certain of not being able to comply with safety instructions issued by the crew in the event of an accident.
... and if the Daily Mail just happened to find out about it?
Only wondering aloud, of course.
