Airlines seem to at least be getting the message that if you are obese and unable to fit into one seat, you are required to buy a second seat - preferably in the same row. But what about those tall people? The ones you enjoy watching clip their heads on the TV and overhead bins when boarding. Two seats won’t help them unless they buy the one in front of them – and then what? There is some talk of retro-fitting a couple of rows with more leg room for the vertically gifted. I would prefer, if they are going to go to all this retro fitting trouble, that they make a couple rows in the very back of the plane that are hermetically sealed for the loud talkers, snorers, and stinkpots, so they don’t end up in my row. Ya, that would work.
