如果你觉得你最喜欢的航空公司的经济舱座位越来越少，那就等几个月吧。更糟糕的情况还在后头。美国航空公司最近放弃了“更多空间”的促销活动，在其窄体MD-80的经济舱增加了5个座位，机尾总共可搭载120名乘客。该公司估计，这一变化将为MD-80机队带来每年6000万美元的新收入。波音公司将在超过一半的客户订购的新787客机中挤入9个座位，而不是最初计划的8个座位。一些航空公司还将座位的前后间距改为30英寸，而不是标准的31英寸。
If you thought elbow room was getting scarce in economy class on your favorite airline, just wait a few months. There is worse to come. American Airlines recently abandoned its “More Room” promotion and added five extra seats to the economy sections of its narrow-body MD-80s, for a total of 120 passengers in the rear of the plane. The company estimates that the change will bring in $60 million per year in new revenue for the MD-80 fleet. Boeing is squeezing nine seats across into the new 787s ordered by more than half its customers, rather than the eight seats originally planned. Some airlines also are spacing the seats 30 inches apart from front to back, rather than the standard 31.
