However, taking the front doors out means a corresponding reduction in passenger loads due to aircraft certification evacuation times. Less passengers means higher fares and possibly less travel by the public so there could be big big ramifications and some airlines might not survive in the economic climate.

There is always a balance to be had. The question is how far to one side will it be allowed to be tipped and what will the effects on everyone's liveliehoods be ??
