I'm not a big guy, but I say, yes. It's ridiculous how airlines have squashed passengers into planes like sardines in a can.___
It's not your imagination. Airline seats are shrinking.
A wave of air-rage incidents has exposed the problem like a threadbare economy class seat on an aging puddle jumper. A Delta Air Lines flight from New York to Palm Beach, Fla., recently made an unscheduled landing in Jacksonville after two passengers scuffled over a reclining seat. It followed two similar altercations a few days earlier, both of which also involved seat-related altercations.

The National Association of Airline Passengers has filed a formal Petition for Rule-making with the FAA to set standards guaranteeing each passenger adequate leg, hip, and shoulder room. FAA currently has no standards limiting how small seats can be or how tightly they may be placed.
Passengers are not powerless to stop the trend to smaller seats and overcrowded airplanes. They can insist the FAA act now to set standards, and they can have a say in what those standards will be. Passenger pressure forced the FAA to set more reasonable rules on Portable Electronic Devices, and can be just as effective in making seats more comfortable.
Passengers can show their support for seat standards by contacting their representatives, and posting their comments and opinions directly with the FAA at the following web address:

Why not tell the FAA you want reasonable standards for airline seats?
