Another example of poorly written copy. What they should have said was 3 rows of 4 seats in a 2 by 2 configuration.   There's is no way you can get two aisles in a narrowbody.  In the case of the 737, the two aisles would take up about 40 inches, leaving only 99 inches for 6 seats.  This is 16.5 inches per seat.

Looking at the ATA website, I think they have shelved this plan. The seating diagrams there do not show any business class seating.  It does show that they have only one (1) lavatory on their 737-300 and -500 aircarft.  Only 1 for 139 and 122 pax respectively.
