Elbow wars?

Elbow wars over precious armrest space could become a thing of the past for flight passengers as airlines consider a new seating layout which would have some travellers facing the back of the plane.
British company the Premium Aircraft Interiors Group (PAIG) has developed a "ying-yang" seating pattern in which neighbouring seats face in opposite directions.The new layout removes the need to leave a gap between seats for an armrest under the traditional shoulder-to-shoulder seating plan.Instead, one person's shoulders would be in line with the neighbouring passenger's knees and each would have their own armrest.Passengers who find the thought of spending hours unable to avoid eye contact - and conversation - with their neighbour have also been considered.A privacy screen can be pulled out from the seat in front at eye level.
