Another issue with the seats is that some people do complain the new seats don't have enough lumbar support, making it very painful for the back for a long haul. however, i prefer the new seats because there's no one that pushes their seat into your face while the plane is STILL rolling down the runway and leaves their seat there for the entire flight, even for meals! (oh yes, personal experience... and the guy glared at the ISM when i asked her to tell the guy to push his seat up during meal time. he pushed back when he was finished and i was still eating. ohh so enjoyable )
