Now, is it just me or does some sadistic SOB make that particular seat cushion even more uncomfortable than the other seats?
Or maybe I just spend too much time in that seat...:rolleyes:

Edited to add; The only time I've ever voluntarily given up that seat was when I saw some 6'-18" giant stooped over walking down the aisle... I asked and he was in another single seat side seat so I traded... He needed it more than I did.

That's one of the dirty little secrets of the ELR seats, the only seats in CO economy with decent legroom. All the seat cushions in these seats are shorter than on the standard seat, so as to produce less of an encumberance as terrified passengers rush out the exit.

For the poor schm*ck non-elite who forks out the brutally exce$$ive buy-ups CO instituted for these seats, this means more legroom, but a shorter seat cushion and, on most planes, a narrower seat because of the rigid armrest that holds the tray table...
