I'm 6'0" and my kneecaps were rubbing the back of the seat ahead of me the entire way from DFW to YYZ. It was horrible.
This, no doubt, is precisely how AC will lay out their new 737s. Hello 28" seat pitch.
as a frequent AA flyer, this is a very, very sad thing to hear - I'm dreading the 319s coming to YYZMIA. I guess the people who design these cabins either don't ever actually fly in them or just like torturing the traveling public. If these "slimline" cabins become the new norm my new motto will be "you're paying for J or I'm not flying..." and I suspect that is what AC/AA wants.
