What I don't understand is the thinking that taking out J and evening out the spacing of all of the seats would:
1. Magically give everyone so much space that people won't complain. That is laughable.
2. Not increase the average cost for the people that typically fly Y.
Whoever supports this plan and thinks it will work, probably also thinks that health care in Canada is well run and that we shouldn't allow privatized health care.
Give your head a shake. You cannot explain this away, not a chance.
