I think that reducing seat sizes in an era of growing body masses is a health hazard. I don't want to be sued, to be sure. So I am throwing this out there. Certainly the plane manufacturers don't recommend the tightening seats.
If one is 5'2" 110 lbs then the seats are perfect. But how does that apply to a 6'5" 260lbs traveller? Personally i spent 7 hours as a pretzel on ANA recently and I can tell you if I had a boss he or she would not be putting me in such a situation again. As it is, this was a self imposed attempt at misplaced frugality.
If you are 6'5" and 260lbs, you are FAT and should do something about it. But the answer to your question - NO. I'm 6'3", 195LBs with 36" legs and I do not have a problem with AC mainline seats, Rouge 767 seats or Rouge preferred(319) seats at all. Even the reg Y seats on the Rouge 319 somehow work on shorter flights.
