No Padding in the Seats
Following up on the seat pitch threads, is it just me, or is there a lot less padding in the seat cushions themselves than there was about 20 years ago when I started flying a lot? Seems to me that there used to be at least a couple of inches of foam below you when you sat on those seats in coach 15 or 20 years ago, but there seems like there is about 1/2 inch of foam there now, just barely covering the seat. They seem hard as sitting on rocks for long flights. I have felt this way on US, DL, UA, and TW. Maybe they think if they squeeze the foam out of the back and bottom of the seat cushion, they can get an extra inch or a half out of the seat pitch. Anyone else?
