As someone who fits between the armrests, but not quite behind another seat (I'm over 6'), this doesn't seem fair. @MDF, seats are the same size they’ve always been, a lot of Americans aren’t.

As someone who fits between the armrests, but not quite behind another seat (I’m over 6′), this doesn’t seem fair.
