And my friends wonder why I never fly anymore.

Just another reason to take any other form of transpo.

Eventually passengers will be sedated and placed in cargo containers.

I always thought airline seats were too roomy. The only thing worse is those airplane lavatories - way too much wasted space.

How about....

* Grown Up Air for lack of a better term.
* The entire airplane has 1st class seating.
* No overheads, talk to Airline Pilots on the down-low, they want them gone.
* Dress up and behave, and the crew gives out prizes for it.
* Also, don't bring gobs of junk in with you leave your laptop and it's work with your baggage, sit and relax, free internet, tasteful music channels, and free-ear plugs if you need them and a decent snack.

How much more would you pay to get treated like like this rather than cattle? I'd certainly consider such a carrier....

The 757 was the most uncomfortable plane I’ve ever been on.

I flew on an Air Fance plane that had super skinny seats. I told my husband they must not have any fat people in Europe.

The airlines are just doing their part to help solve the American obesity epidemic. First the food, now the seats.

I want to fly on “Fatboy Airlines”. When is that company starting. I want every passenger to have a sofa seat and a drink holder.

Seriously, the airlines care less and less about passengers. And apparently the passengers are little more than revenue commodities. They certainly aren’t customers any more.

Flew on a United B-777 from Denver to Honolulu recently. Was like riding on a city bus for 7 hours, seats were that comfortable.

“main cabin” should be referred to as “second class”. My daughter pointed that out and it stuck with me........

Won't be long before they load planes the way Japanese load trains.

Airlines regulate for safety, not for comfort. When airlines decrease seats and bathrooms to points where even average size people are uncomfortable and it is difficult to safely evacuate an aircraft, the FAA will be forced to step in and draw a line. The airlines will push it to that limit. In then end, fewer will fly and the airlines will still get regulations they don’t want.

I very rarely advocate for government regulation, however in this case, it is a safety issue. There should be a minimum distance between the front of the seat and the seat in front of it. This is to allow room for individuals to exit their seats and get to the middle of the plane.

Further, there should be a minimum distance between the front of the seat and the rear of the seat.
