Airplane Seats Could Get a Whole Lot Smaller Starting in November
It seems like airplane seats couldn’t get any smaller, but the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) is currently seeking public comments to determine if airlines should be restricted in decreasing seat sizes. There are currently no rules in place regarding the space and size of airplane seats, so without an official ruling, airlines can continue to decide their own measurements.

That is just too funny.... the company I work for, we are selling a larger seat and passengers are loving it... Giving lots more leg room for pax comfort and it is a big hit...
The entire article is BS. FAA is seeking comments on seat sizes for passenger safety purposes such as an evacuation, not for traveler comfort. Heck, traveloffpath.com does not even know what FAA stands for.
My large rear end can't fit comfortably in them as it is. Plus my knees are hitting the seat in front of me.

safety first - no matter what the seat size - how quickly can pax escape the a/c in regulation time? Safety is what the FAA has been in charge of. comfort second - with todays society getting larger/heavier from previous generations, airlines should take this into consideration when developing their seat pitch and width. third - affordability - what the general public wants (ie. LCC) requires that the airlines put as many seats as safely as possible in to the a/c - thus spreading costs over more pax per plane and keeping fares low. With less, more comfortable seats - prices will have to go up to cover costs (salaries, fuel, etc.). Comfort vs price - which is more important? With the uptick in LCC's and their successes - it seems today that a lot of travelers choose price over comfort. I choose comfort when flying and I have to pay for it - will everyone else? It's a choice we all have to make.
Passengers are getting bigger and airplane seats are getting smaller, cars and trucks are getting larger again, and garages are shrinking - more and more people are moving West, and less and less fresh water there is available . . . something has just gotta give!
