Pods would be much less efficient than current system. You are carrying like hundred pound of pod for each passenger. Would save some on no seats but then lose it to racks for carrying the pods. Also, would need to carry nurses to monitor vitals and revive passengers.
Most important, pods are death traps in crash. Remember the plane in Japan where most of the passengers survived? All of them in pods would have died.

Airline seats, just by themselves, are 40kg per. On the other hand, I defer on the safety issue. Definitely hard to imagine safety improvement here, particularly evacuation . .
