[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the average legroom or pitch has decreased from a comfortable 35 inches to a cramped 28 inches, often found on low-cost carriers. Seat width has also shrunk by as much as four inches over the past 30 years, leaving many seats with a narrow 16-inch width.

Supposedly they're slowly starting to increase again.[/quote]

Ha ha ridiculously overstated stats. No standard US airline has had economy legroom of 35 inches ever. 32 was standard 30 years ago, and now it's generally 31 or 30. Only Spirit/Frontier go below 30, and 28 in very uncommon in the US- although airlines like Ryanair have that on some planes.

And again, there is no way that 20 inches was a normal economy width ever. The standard A320/737 seat width has not changed at all in probably 40 years. Have never seen a standard narrow body 737/A320 seat less than 17 inches width.[/quote]
