That's the point of the slimlines. They get two extra rows of seats in a 737. They say pitch is 31", but it feels tighter.

Or did they already do that with their last round of new seats, which was only a year or two ago IIRC??
Only a portion of the fleet has the new "evolve" seat. It is absolutely awful.
