(91,687 posts)I think its been a decade since last I flew. My knee gave out, I had the long delayed surgery, then there was COVID, during which I rehabbed my knee. And then Time slipped by.
Dear DUers: the fight over half-inches and inches has been created by corporate decisions, not individual passengers. We who are older arent maundering about how flying was better in our youth it was objectively better up to my middle-age.
Seats were wider. Leg room was adequate for a 6-foot human. Seats had room to recline so you could ease your back, and so the passenger behind you could get in and out. These are objective facts.
The changes that make everyone so miserable are corporate decisions. They rake in the dough while we suffer and while we fight each other. If this thread goes like some of the ones weve had in the past, the blame will be placed on fellow passengers, and not where it belongs: corporate greed.
