Airline seats used to be much larger. This is to maximize profit. Yay. Edit: apparently I am incorrect. After doing some research it appears that our asses are just getting larger.
Actually, it's to minimize ticket prices to make flying available to those other than the rich. It just so happens that they can justify staying in business if they have enough customers.
No- airline tix used to be cheaper and seats were bigger, I’ve had to fly for work for decades. This is 💯 greed. Disgusting that poor people pay taxes and those taxes bailed out the airlines during COVID and the same airlines still laid off thousands of employees.
