Kevin,

If you want full legroom, you should probably take row 6C or 6D. 1A&B are nice seats, and they do have the cutout, but they do not have as much legroom as the other seats in F. I'm about 5'9" and fit ok, but I can't stretch the legs out, but I can cross them in 1A/B. The thing I like about 1A/B is that nobody can recline into you. F seat pitch on the 757 is not all that great. It's fine when the noobs in front of you don't recline all the way back, but when they recline all the way back, it isn't that great.

I don't like row 6 and personally, I try to get 1A all the time. 6A&B are in front of the bathroom, 6C&D are in front of the service area. (Lots of ice banging goes on there.) If I can't get 1A/B, I'll take anything but row 6 on the 757.

Actually, if it's legroom you want, you can't beat row 16. If the flight isn't full and the center seat stays blocked, row 16 is better than F, for both pitch and legroom and the seat in front of you has limited recline. But please don't tell anybody else about row 16. The row is so wide, I can roll my stuff into the row and let people pass while I'm fumbling for my headphones and personal junk for the flight. You can only reserve row 16 if you are 1P or 1K since it is an exit row.
