They then complain when they feel a tall person's knees in their back or when that person wishes to recline their seat or put their legs into the aisle to get a little respite.
Im 6ft4 and they can complain all they want, I cant help how Im built. Its not a "lifestyle choice" to be tall, as someone said was the case with fat poeple on the fat flyer thread. I reckon that on the average short haul economy flight, the person in front of me can recline their seat about 1 inch before my knees make it impossible for the seat to go further back. I do get poeple look around sometimes when their seat wont recline fully, if they complain to me directly I just smile and tell them my legs dont fit!!!
If there is a spare seat next to me then I usually swivel around abit and there is room for everyone, unfortunately this only really works well when the adjoining armrest can be lifted up a bit...
I dont think the situation will change, except possibly to give pax even less room....
