		yagibear on Jan 4, 2009 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: A Better Way to Load a Plane For simplicity, his model assumes a plane with 120 passengers seated in 40 rows, each with a central aisle having three seats to the left and three seats to the right of it. So this only works with 50% occupancy? 120/(40*(3+3))

Well, ABC's blurb is wrong. The model assumes 20 rows, not 40.
