#2 I'm 6'-2", not incredibly tall, and my knees touch the seat in front of me even when upright. Tell me about it

#3 It is probable that I am the only one here who finds coach comfortable. But I’ve recently been forced to give up the idea of ever crossing 5’ (152 cm) going north.

#4 I'm a 5'9" woman and if not sitting up perfectly straight my knees sometimes touch the seat in front.

#5 I'm just slightly shorter than you, Frank, and my knees just love it when the person in front of me slams their seat back when the seat-belt sign goes off.

#6 Ref #5: Delta flt many years ago, a similar situation resulting in me being pinned in (continued push, push, pushing from the man in the seat just ahead)..... unable to adjust my legs and escape. Very course language quickly resulted, ....very course, until resolution reached.

#7 Flying, TSA, over-priced tickets, fees....air travel simply is for the birds (pun intended).

#10 Congress should force them to list the measurements for seat width and leg room and let the people decide.
