Is it time for new mandatory rules for seat pitch and width on all passenger planes?

This article was in the NY Times today, summing up the state of commercial flying in the United States. Cramming SLF into their seats is becoming the norm.

Question is.....is this safe?

Also is it time for a new business model that makes money from a quality product, instead of this business school scheme that completely disregards passenger safety and comfort?

And finally should all passenger aircraft have minimum pitch and width requirements based on acceptable safety and comfort standards for the 21st century?

Lets start a discussion and let the bean counters know how we feel!
