I've sat in coach and, while I don't like it, I can't really argue that the seat pitch is below a minimum that a "Bill of Rights" would need to improve. I'm 5'11", and the pitch is far from inhumane. Comfortable? Not really...that's why I upgrade. But my not liking it doesn't mean that a wider pitch should be legislated in some "Bill of Rights".
But, yeah, coach sucks.
Cheers.
