From Easy's own communique:
"easyJet has chosen the Recaro seat because we really believe that it will provide a more comfortable flight and that our passengers will notice the difference.
It has been ergonomically designed with the comfort of the passenger top of mind so the backrest angle is pre-defined for a relaxed sitting position and the seat is designed to provide more space for passengers".
Clearly, more space is their current sales pitch. I was wondering out loud just how long that will remain the case.
Thanks ExXB. I was still typing when you posted. I shall remain a cynic. It goes with my age
