'Airplane seats are far too small': Travelers are calling on the Federal Aviation Administration to implement larger seat size minimums

, which were posted on the organization's website during a 90-day period from August 3 to November 1, before making a decision.

Although the three-month period for public comments is intended to help improve safety for air passengers —particularly in emergency evacuations — more than 21,000 commenters spoke of their discomfort in seats on a variety of airlines. Pizor continued:"Estimates say that fewer than TWENTY PERCENT of Americans can fit in current airplane seats, and whether or not you feel that fat people deserve to be treated with dignity, that number is totally unacceptable."

Anthropometrics. People just need to work on themselves more.

and then they will complain about the airfares being higher

Given the obesity epidemic, the seats in the planes are not the issue. The seats on the travelers are.

Not advisable for planes. That's extra weight up there.

Higher prices - economics 101 Fly business or first class since you are willing to pay, problem solved
