In this country, we can only dispense justice vs greedy corporations one settlement at a time
Dream on. It takes money to finance the type of litigation you wish for. You don't work for free, nor do talented litigators. Why do you describe AC as greedy? AC is an inanimate object, an entity. It is the shareholders who may be greedy. Blame the pensioners and mutual fund investors who want the high ROI. Better yet, have a look at Tysan Holdings. Nice Chinese company......

It will not happen. IMPOSSIBLE. 28 inches is about as low as it goes without safety being compromised. Spirit, Air Asia, Monarch and Thompson are at 28

Wait till they see Air Asia's leg room.
What about air asia's leg room? It isn't that bad, I recenty had a few flights with them, and prefer FD to WE. Thai Smile is TG's version of Rouge, except it's worse. It's not worth the higher cost. And therein lies the beauty of Air Asia. I don't mind the leg room because it's never more than a 90 minute flight and once I pay all the extras, I am still around $100 or less for a flight. This is a significantly better value proposition than AC. AC gives me the cramped experience for 3-4X the FD fare and all the negatives associated with AC.
