So BRU and KAP,
The answer is to legislate or sue the airlines into NOT supplying what the majority of travelers want (the cheapest possible fare) becauese it is our RIGHT to have cheap travel but with a high degree of comfort. If you can't afford the Business class and don't like the Economy product- DON'T GO!!
BTW BRU, do BA operate to where you are? They HAVE the "slightly more comfort" for a little more- World Traveller Plus- Do you avail yourself of this, or, don't tell me, take the cheapest fare and then bitch about the legroom!
perceived or otherwise...it will be up to THEM to prove "otherwise"
I'm pretty sure you have to prove that the proponderence of evidence is on YOUR side, not the other way around Kap...
