Congress takes aim at shrinking seats, legroom on airplanes The media should be asking how this will change the cost of each airline seat fare, but instead, they go out and ask people who are too cheap to pay for a larger seat if they would like airlines to have to provide larger seats. The idiots all believe changing the seat size will not cost more so are all for larger seat size! Yeah, yippie, we want more for free!!! But reality will intrude and if passed this law will drive up the cost of airfare leaving these same people to bitch about the cost of airfare. The bitching about airfares, seats and airline food are legion. Airlines are highly competitive and have tried all sorts of changes to attract customers; nothing works, except low fares. People will bitch about seat size and food, but they will not pay more for larger seats or better food. They will, however, sit at the coffee shop and lie to themselves that they will pay more for better seats and better food, but after returning from a trip, will crow about the low fare they paid. They seemingly have no understanding of basic economics at all. Seats are the size they are, and airline food is as it is because people are not willing to pay even one dollar more for larger seats or better food. That the people interviewed are so out of touch with reality always shocks me although it shouldn't, I see it every day! Politicians do this because it will create a new bureaucracy, and the regulated will flock to the politicians seeking rents trying to injure their competition while benefiting themselves. Why on God's green earth would we want to add more corruption to the transportation system? Next up, regulating seat size in your doctor's office. Regulating that all airports need to have motorized walkways from auto dropoff to the plane departure gates! This is what we need - motivated armchairs which drive us from home into an auto, which drives us to the airport where the motorized armchair rolls us to the gate, onto the plane and into our position for the flight, then off the plane and on to our destination! Don't worry; the journalists are too stupid to realize that the costs of these fripperies are too large to afford, the government should pay!!!! The politicians believe if you are kept this coddled you will remain pliable, and they will be able to continue to mine the graft and corruption the progressive model affords them. Is Wall-E the dystopian human life we will lead or is the Matrix?
