LOS ANGELES — Over the last 15 years or so, airlines have found a new way to drive up revenue: squeezing more seats into each plane.
The result has been frustration and pushback from passengers who now endure narrower airline seats with less legroom.
But relief may be in sight: After years of delays, federal regulators have begun taking public comments on a proposal to impose minimum standards on airline seat width and legroom to put a halt to the many years of seat shrinkage.
