M
atthew Coder, the manager of inflight experience
with Alaska Airlines, put it like this, “At RedCabin Seat-
tle it was nice to be able to focus on one rather impactful
interior feature. When it comes to the airlines themselves
and the seat manufacturers … we do the exact same
thing, we sell seats!   This is a very important symbiotic
relationship. The better the seat design, the more likely
an airline will purchase it.  The better the seat design,
the easier it is for the airline to sell seats to the traveling
public. To have a RedCabin event without the airlines and
seat manufacturers in the same room together would be
the same as going to marriage counseling without your
spouse!  It is about the relationship.”
