New seat design with sliding seats

Interesting concept.

Quote:

an undisclosed U.S .airline will be putting them on 50 planes by the end of 2020.

The sliding part is optional.

How are the seats wider? How does the wider aisle thing work when the 95 percent of the seats in coach are occupied?

The article I read states in service by 2020. My bet is that this is the new seat for Spirit. They've already stated in numerous MRO articles that we'd be replacing our interiors (seats, runners, bulkheads) beginning at the end of 2019 so I think a good bet is these in black on NK birds.
