Even if their seats aren't up to par I still want to make this my new airline. DL has ruined NW and the miles program. I grew up in MSP I that was my airline. Now I feel like an orphan that needs a good home and I think I've found it.
I used to tell my wife that I wanted to be buried with my frequent flyer statement now I want to burn it. I feel totally betrayed.
Seat comfort is obviously to some extent subjective.
I'm glad you find CO more comfortable.
What is indisputable is the lack of legroom. The only CO planes that have 32" seat pitch are the 757-300, 767-200 and 767-400.
All others have only 31" seat pitch, including all the 737 variants (the backbone of the domestic fleet), the 757-200, and the 777, meaning that CO operates one of the 10 longest flights in the world EWR-HKG with only 31" seat pitch in Y.
Of course, for those who are of smaller stature, this is not an issue.
