Washington Post: FAA ask Americans to weigh in on them stopping Airline seats from shrinking
- Thread starter Slayven
- Start date
For a large number of Americans sitting in coach seats is like paying for prolonged physical abuse.
Idk how the lady in the first pic can take that picture while smiling

1. Tell me the FAA has never sat in economy without telling me the FAA has never sat in economy.
2. Who tf in the "public" is gonna say no, we could use smaller seats? Where these rats at?

That first picture, how are you supposed to get in the seats on the second tier? And what do the seats in front of those look like? Are they even higher?
When people joked that coach was actually "cattle class" back in the 90's, we laughed.
Now it's practically a reality.

Same. I need my legs to stretch for a while or my knees start hurting, had that problem a lot in my flights last month.
She's a shareholder.
Edit: as someone who doesn't even fit in coach seats so I have to fly first class everywhere: fuck these people.
The whole industry is bullshit. Cramping people in like sardines and the cost of flying is prohibitively expensive to so many people. We have this amazing thing of being able to fly through the fucking air anywhere in the world, people have so many different cultures and learning experiences available to them that would make societies better but it's almost completely gated off, and then on the other end of that there are so many unnecessary flights happening.
I am a small person, and the seats on a 737 flight I took to Denver already felt insanely cramped. You are smooshed against anyone who's not trim and petite. Elbow to elbow for hours.
What they need to do is stop charging extra for the exit row seats. At 6'4", flying is hella uncomfortable because they keep making the seats narrower and then charging extra for what should be normal. Flying sucks now
I hate agreeing with this. Planes are absolutely punishing for tall folk as-is.
I'd obviously prefer normal seating over this monstrosity, but yeah, if I had to choose between the knew busting shit we have now and that...I'd be tempted to go with the seat in my face. I'd need to actually sit in one first though to see if it triggers any claustrophia though.
Yeah. I'm shorter than you but air travel has always been misery for me. The lack of leg room for tall people is just inhumane.

I had a flight with spirit airlines last month going to New Orleans. The bottom Pic is pretty much that experience lol
Yeah, airline seats are awful. I also hate how they are like at a 90 degree angle even when reclined. I swear, I feel like I am leaning forward unless I recline. It's ridiculous.
Replace all passenger jets with cargo ones so they can be more efficient when packing people in. Each person in their own crate with their luggage so nothing will ever be lost again.
I look at that picture and wonder how I'm supposed to get my legs out when I'm ready to adjust. Claustrophobic nightmare.
It depends, if the price for a flight increases significantly enough with larger seats that less people can afford or want to pay for a flight, that may be better against climate change. In the end, I support anything that makes flying less attractive. Shrink the seats to infinitesimal sizes, quintuple the prices, you name it.
Smaller than you think, dad! The seats are smaller than you think!
Flying is prohibitively expensive? I'd say on the contrary it's ridiculously cheap considering its cost on climate. In Europe, at least, often it is *cheaper* to fly than to take a train. And a single trip let's say between Germany and Greece (both European) is the equivalent of eating 400g chicken filet every day for two years. If people were flying even more, that would not improve society, it would kill our climate at record speed.
I am also 6'6" and have been cramming myself into main cabin on flights because I am cheap, didnt think there was that much more room unless you flt business class and figure that 2 hours worth of discomfort isn't that big of a deal; we splurged on cabin plus this past weekend and I was amazed the difference an extra 6 inches of leg room made for me. Its going to end up being an expensive discovery for me because I'm not sure I can make myself cram into a main cabin seat anymore.
being against the wall and needing to go pee. whats the logistics of that operation.
In the olden days the attendants would see me and instantly offer to move me into a seat with more legroom for free. It should be illegal to charge tall folks extra to fly but I know that no one gives two shits about our problems 🤣
I think I'm more leg than man tbh. I had a job as a cable contractor once and couldn't fit behind the wheel of the company's bucket trucks but another technician there who was the same height as me could fit without a problem 🤷🏾♂️
