That doesn't seem like a very worthwhile endeavor. Most plane crashes occur on landing or just after takeoff, there would be no time to get into an escape pod.

The plane should be comprised of a series of these pods, each of them as a single unit with a few passengers. Then upon unavoidable crash they can be "released" with explosive parachutes, hoping for the best.
