Is it safe? I believe it is and most likely the aircraft config actually seats way less than it is certified to carry.

Aircraft are vastly expensive assets and airlines have every right to configure and operate how they seek fir in order to get a return on their investment.
Which airline do you lobby for? smh
Have you never heard of DVT (deep vein thrombosis)? There have been no studies to determine if the new slim line seats make the risk greater. And as this article discusses possible rage!

Have you ever flown 14hrs in cramped seats with 32" pitch? No one is forcing these airlines to cram extra rows in, they are doing because they are greedy. Like I said, lower fuel cost have neither lowered the cost of flying or improved the service...

The problem is everyone is copying the Middle East airlines because of thier success, so, we can look forward to 10 accross on the 777 ....
