Judge Orders FAA to Review Airline Seat Spacing

[ORD_Buckeye]

An end to the madness? When I started flying a lot right before 9/11, seat spacing in coach on American was 38 freaking inches. It's down to 30 now.

Gotta admire a man who can get a tape measure past airport security.

Without reading the article, I would imagine that less seats and the money it costs to replace the current seats will make airlines increase the prices for flights.

... well, you can fly on this plane, but you have to buy all the tickets.

I must have sat next to his female twin. Had the temerity to ask me to move my arm off the arm rest, then lifted her fat to rest on it and extend into my seat 6 inches. I'm not into fat shaming but goodness, someone that size should not be allowed to fly...for the safety of everyone...or should be forced to pay for two adjacent seats. This is not an equal rights issue.
