No sir, "the cramped seats are the fault of the consumer." If the majority of consumers values additional legroom vs a token savings then airlines would have no problem providing more legroom.

Also, if space is so critical, buy EC or F.
Most of the time when reading news online, I jump straight from the lede down to the comments. They can either be the best or worst content out on the internet (or both, at the same time).

And +1 on airlines responding to consumer demand. I'm constantly astounded by the lengths people will go to save $10 by adding connections, picking crazy flight times, wrong airports, etc., then can't seem to have any level of flexibility or understanding of others once they actually board the plane.
