I thought I'd seen this in Bloomberg a few weeks ago, but it was a very similar article in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jul/29/incredible-shrinking-airline-seat-us-court-says-seat-size-a-safety-issue https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jul/29/incredible-... .
This article doesn't seem to mention Chuck Schumer's efforts on the issue (at least as of last February; maybe he's forgotten it since): https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/feb/28/charles-schumer-faa-seat-size-shrinkage https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/feb/28/charles-sch... .
- aluminussoma 9y agoThanks for the information! The requirement for the FAA to establish a minimum seat size is in the House and Senate Versions of the FAA Reauthorization Bill. The House version is not passed yet, they have until September to do so before the prior one expires. If the House Bill passes, the reconciled version that will be sent to the President should have this requirement.
