Sure they suck. But would it suck worse for the government to mandate first class seats throughout?
That's a bit of a false dichotomy. It's not "worst possible seats ever" versus "personal cocoon of comfort with hot towels".
Yes, airline travel is far more convenient than any other long distance travel. But there should be some minimum standard of passenger space and comfort.
If more than half the population physically cannot get into your seats, adjust their position, or cross and uncross their legs
And, really, half is way too low.
Because, really, who wants to ride like you're in a Jeepney from Mumbai while in an airplane?
