Sure I'd take more legroom too, but realistically, we can't have it all, without any adding significant cost.
Cost is what motivated the airlines to squeeze in the maximum number of seats regardless of comfort level or average passenger size. There WILL be a trade-off if they have to have fewer seats on the flight but I'm all for it even though I'm smaller and skinnier than average. Right now it's become like the Psych 101 experiments where you put too many lab rats into too small a space and they start picking fights and biting each other. And none of the rats has been given adult beverages!
