I like the idea of tandem where the legs of the rearward passenger can extend into the hip area of the forward seated person. This places them as far forward as possible, and utilizes the otherwise void space in the seating area caused by shoulders being wider than the seat.

I'm wondering if commercial airline seating could be even more efficient or comfortable by offsetting the rows or creating "straddled" seating? The big discomfort with commercial seating is inability to extend the legs. Straddling would eliminate that discomfort at the expense of some of distance between the person seated ahead. I'd take that tradeoff.
