    It is brutal. I’m not even 5’10" and my knees were pressed into the seat in front of me. I felt sorry for the guy across the aisle that was at least 6’.

    Anything for a buck. I’m surprised they’re actually reversing it.

      Also seems like a safety issue. In a crash, a shift of your seat back slightly forward, plus your own body moving is going to crush your femurs. I would think you at least need a few inches of air buffer. Not to mention fast exiting hindered by not having space to move properly

      WestJet only reversing it because word started to get around and people were swearing never to fly WestJet again. If there were no possible alternatives for flyers, they would not have cared.
