CEO, Ed Bastian, and American Airlines CEO, Doug Parker, were asked to sit
in the coach section of the respective carrier’s planes. Both men, around
six feet three inches tall, snuggled into the cramped quarters and told the
Journal that the seats will not be getting any smaller – though they did
defend their lack of legroom by saying if people want more space, they can
pay for it." https://tinyurl.com/ybayncsu
