It's not about getting larger, it is about safety.

I enjoy hating on fatties as much as anyone but that's not really the point here. Coach seats are now uncomfortable for average sized people. It's corporate America screwing the consumer.

>average sized people
the article did not state people getting "taller".
>>135476852
It specifically mentioned leg room.

>The court said the FAA had used "off-point" studies and "undisclosed tests using unknown parameters" to justify its initial refusal to review the rules. "That type of vaporous record will not do," the court said.
This is the key point. You can't just justify to keep packing people like sardines all in the name of profit.
Citing vague studies to refute this kind of common sense is pure jewing. It's amazing how 3 years of low oil prices is not enough for the airlines when they now are actually profitable.

Exactly.
They pack you into a sardine can and give you piss poor service and no recourse for when they kick you off a flight they intentionally overbooked. Even first class isn't what it used to be.
Then they expect retards like OP to blame their fellow Americans instead.

>not flying business class
Letting poorfags on planes was a mistake.
Fuck off OP. I ain't fat but I'm not trying to squeeze in shoulder to shoulder with strangers for hours at a time in a flying commie block. Let the fatties have their biggers seats, more room for me.
>>135476371
Honestly, the government is the problem, as usual and not the solution. If you want this problem solved, let foreign airlines compete in the US, boom. Problem fucking fixed.

should the seats be renamed "manlet", "skeletor" and "ham planet" to accommodate the diverse body sizes?
>>135477859
Or how about you build airplanes for comfort and not maximum jewage?
