Frequent flier

If you think the fact that people are larger has convinced airlines to do anything about the size of their seats, you obviously haven't been on a domestic airline flight recently. 

I fly on a regular basis, and it has been obvious that even the first class seats on some airlines haven't been replaced -- much less changed in design -- in over a decade.  Who knows how long it's been since the standard airline seat has been improved.  Not only do airlines care if your seat on their airplane is less comfortable than your cheap computer chair at home, they don't even care if the padding is so flattened that you can feel the metal frame of the seat in your legs.

Great, now all airliners will have to double or maybe even triple their seat widths.
