Since one of the top post here this week is from Fox News I wanted to take the opportunity to let people know how bad news is even from real news organizations and they should probably avoid interacting with places like Fox altogether.
This is a pretty widely reported about Westjet cutting the legroom. Almost all these articles has little useful information and largely just convey a sentiment that people should be angry at Westjet.
To provide examples of useful information this information took me about 25 minutes to gather:
- These sites show how small the seat are even on a global level.
Has most of the airline - https://www.airlinequality.com/info/seat-pitch-guide/
Has less airlines but different plane model - https://www.netflights.com/useful-tips/legroom-chart
-
The Toronto Star article shows that more than half the seats is the smallest size.
-
Pitch is a industry term that doesn’t clearly represent actual leg room.
-
Westjet does not present this information clearly when booking to allow the customer to make a informed decision.
- This for an airline cater to taller people, proportionally longer femurs and probably larger back sides. The global adult femur length is around 18 to 20 inches accounting for the factors above these seat barely fit most adults in Canada.
