Which leaves them few other choices, unless their destination happens to
be one served by Amtrak or Greyhound, or they are willing to drive. A
decade or so back, several of the airlines tried to make a sales point
of more room, but people buy mainly on price, and the revised cabins
went back to normal at the next refresh cycle. For 80th percentile size
people, where the bell curve starts falling off, the cabins are fine. It
is mainly for bell curve outriders like me on height, shoulder width,
and leg length, that it is a problem.
