You are missing the point completely. Entitlement is not safety. Basically you are saying that the government should regulate car seats, because leather seat are more comfortable than your vinyl seat and some "expert" has said the discomfort is bad for your health. There was a option, but why pay for it, when the government should make the company give it to me for free.
As I said at the start, this thread is based on entitlement, because most of the people wanting larger seat, will not pay the extra price, drive to the US for cheaper tickets and fly on the smaller seat they dislike. Them write into FT or CBC that we can't fly out of CDN because the fares are to high.
