It's been the same every since, I'm a big man in a Marvin Milktoast world.
Are you Tom Daschle?

Just kidding, of course. My opinion on the whole airline seating situation is that the seats are too narrow (and I'm not all that big, 6-2 and 210#) and leg room is so cramped that my legs or feet often went numb when I flew, even on short flights. I swear, they design the seats for people 5'5" tall and 120 pounds.
In the least, I would think that they ought to divide the plane into sections based on the size of the flyers. You know, like small, medium, and large. OK, just an idea.
