And you still have all the space under the wings to hang bosun's chairs. They would be economy-economy class, because the takeoff and landing might be unpleasant.
Sounds like a blast on those 8 hour international flights. Where do I sign up???
I can't imagine anything worse than being forced to stand during a several hour flight, especially when you'd be experience g-forces and turbulence which would send everyone flying.
