Nobody, except a small child, can fit comfortably in a seat with 31 inch pitch. It's bad enough that they have this seat pitch for domestic, where at the max you will be subjected to Bovine treatment for up to 5 hours, but they also expect their economy passengers to endure this for up to 15 hours on international flights. One of the reasons I try never to fly a western carrier with exception of domestically where you are forced to fly them.
