So you object to airlines making as much money as possible as long as customers accept their terms. What alternative do you think the airlines ought to pursue instead? Do you believe they should voluntarily pull seatsets out of the planes, make everyone slightly more comfortable, and forego profit when history shows this to be bad business (TWA Comfort Class, AA MRTC, etc.)?

Exactly. Get mad at the public for not boycotting tight seats with bad pitch, but you can't get mad at the airline for not going against its own self-interest.
Sometimes I think an airline run by FTers wouldn't last a week in the real business world.
