Interesting article.

Why Airlines Want to Make You Suffer

Perhaps that’s why Delta’s new cabin plan offers five different classes of service, and why one unnamed major airline is reportedly considering introducing a level called “economy minus,” with even smaller seats than basic economy.

You can just see Jetstar drooling at the prospect of "economy minus".

That is well and good while you have choice, I got the underlying impression from the article that it is set to in time be done by all and we would have to start paying for the comforts we want above flag fall fares and what they offer.

Or you are literally saying you will vote with your feet electing to walk instead of flying?

Personally I drive a number of routes than fly them as I have given up on the whole airfare pricing to add bags both in NZ & USA.
