Note that your terminal velocity is not an intrinsic property, but a consequence of air resistance on your body - air resistance you will not be feeling when enveloped by a row of airline seats. Even if the seat row has a higher terminal velocity than you would by yourself, its wake will take you with it.
Which isn't to say you won't feel your seatbelt tugging on you. You will likely be straining painfully against it. But that's because you'll be tumbling wildly, the entire assembly battered and buffeted by huge forces.
