Can't agree more at 6'8" my inseam is bigger then some seat pitches out there in coach land.
I'm not a frequent flyer by far but have to fly to visit family four times a year. With the industry squeezing every penny out of a seat with extra leg room it hurts (literly). On some airlines there IS NO room between my knees and the seat in front. The person in front of me will not be relcine. I've gotten into arguments that I've been told to remove my bag from under the seat in front and put my legs there. Very uncomfortable.
And then there is the argument that I should have to pay for two seats or pay for coach/first class because of my size and/or that I limited others from there full use of their seat.
Will the industry come up with a policy on reclining equal to Southwest's one on wide persons, where if the arm rest can't come down you have to buy two seats?
If a person can't recline will I have to purcahse the seat in front of me?
Sorry, will get off soap box...
