The cabin width looks like 2.4m externally and 2.16m internally - that's the important dimension and as everyone knows, the dimension of the empty cabin space does not equate to the space you eventually end up having to work with once internal structures and fittings like wet fit floors, floor points etc are fitted. There will be floor points, won't there, or is that the next surprise?

Not that it's relevant to a discussion about the 189 but my solution would not have involved the total annihilation of front-line, every day involvement of military SAR personnel. Remember military crews were an important if complicated element of the original SARH plan. Removing the military's proven ability to select and train SAR buoys from scratch turns off the taps that the MCA flights have relied upon for decades and is extremely myopic of the government. This is frucked up.
