Fewer parts = fewer parts that can fail.

Boeing should look into this.

Too bad they’re not having problems when the interior parts fail.

Weight repartition and balance is extremely important in an aircraft. If everyone moved to one end of the aircraft it could cause loss of control and crash

Skill issue. Pilots need to learn to think on their feet.

Then they can’t see over the console. Surely you noticed there aren’t any seats, right?

It’s quite scary to think that you can crash an airplane by having everyone walk to one end

Why break the cockpit doors when you can just get a bunch of terrorists strategically running around the plane to manipulate it just at the right angle of attack to steer it towards a building?

Simple solution is to pack enough people in that they can’t move like that

They should fly up as high as possible and take a nose dive, then repeat the process. Let’s call it Floating Xperience.

Vomiting in the cockpit sounds a bit difficult to deal with after.

I think this is actually a demo setup by boeing - there are track systems that the seat rows anchor into on actual aircraft, and those tracks are flush with the carpet.
