Airline seats are too small and getting smaller. The FAA currently has no standards limiting how small seats can be or how tightly they may be placed - yet. You can change that.
Insist the FAA act now to set reasonable seat standards guaranteeing each passenger adequate leg, hip, and shoulder room. Passenger pressure forced the FAA to set more reasonable rules on Portable Electronic Devices, and can be just as effective in making seats more comfortable.
Tell the FAA you want reasonable seat standards:
Passengers are not powerless to stop the trend to smaller seats and overcrowded airplanes. You can insist the FAA act now to set standards, and you can have a say in what those standards will be.
Tell the FAA you want reasonable seat standards:
Dear Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and FAA Administrator Michael Huerta,
Airline seats are too small, and do not give passengers enough leg room. Many airlines are reducing seat pitch and seat width even more in order to increase the number of passengers that may be carried on aircraft. This higher density seating is uncomfortable, unhealthy, and even dangerous.
As Secretary Foxx has said, passengers are not sardines. The FAA should act promptly to set reasonable airline seat standards guaranteeing each passenger adequate leg, hip and shoulder room.
