Why should they be, anyways? CO's 767s are delivered after their 757s and 777s. So, one can actually argue that CO has been increasing pitch for its longhaul aircrafts.

Let me add some dates:

1st 752, N58101 was delivered 5/12/94 31" pitch
1st 772, N78001 was delivered 9/28/98 31" pitch
1st 764, N66051 was delivered 8/30/00 32" pitch
1st 762, N76151 was delivered 11/9/00 32" pitch

See the trend?

CO should hire me to spin this. They have been adding pitch!
Good point, but once you get the job how do you spin their return to 31" on the triple 7's?
