Good. In fact, undo de-regulation. It is every American's God-given right to be able to fly LGA-PHL-PIT-CMH-IND-ORD-STL-MCI-DEN-SLC-RNO-SFO-LAX-SAN LOL

Then again, without de-regulation, no jetBlue, and Southwest would be flying intra-Texas only. I rescind my earlier remark. :)

It was once commonly 34 or 35 inches, and is now less than 30 inches on some planes.

Yup the nice thing about Google flights is they show the number *and* whether it's considered average, below average, or above average. What sucks is people don't care, buy the cheapest ticket then whine about the lack of legroom... or don't pay the $20-50 for the extra legroom seats like economy+.

Setting the minimum legroom is a good thing IMO, because then the lowest tier prices will disappear and the people who buy those seats then complain about the legroom will stay home instead.

Seatguru.com is a great resource to check seat pitch, width, and amenities on every airline.

I love that site. I use it to figure out if there's obstructed view, and if the bulkhead seat has enough room for the window / center person to get out without waking up the aisle person (I prefer window but want to walk around at least once an hour).

people have gained weight while airplane seats have gotten smaller.

That doesn't work out for sitting comfort.

The seats are also thinner with less padding.

Since pitch is a fixed point on one seat to the same point on the next seat, that allows airlines to jam in more seats without impacting kneeroom
