What the flying fuck. I’m only 6’, and in 30" seats, my knees were already touching the chair in front in an already uncomfortable seating position. I could squeeze in tighter a bit, but only with a painfully small hip angle. With losing 2", I’d only fit with my knees in front of the seat next to me. Three men of high-average height couldn’t reasonably fit into these seats next to each other, I reckon.
I’d probably need to stand in the aisle the whole flight, then sue in small claims court if I didn’t get at least full refund.
The only way losing 2" could work would be with hard-backed chairs, since they’d be thin enough that you could fit, but I don’t think it’s safe for many to sit, with limited possible movement, on hard chairs for any length of time.
What a disaster. And all to get, like, 2% more seats on a plane? Not to mention how much retrofitting 22 planes cost. Such a colossal fuck up.
I’m 6’2" and things were already tight for me as well.
The problem with thier shuffling method is it compounds the already bad flight delays(there’s also the carry-on shuffle they caused) and most of their seats won’t even fit me so at a certain point you might just get bumped off the entire flight and they don’t even give you a real number to make decisions with. I actually don’t even know which seat fits me because aside from padding the seat angle also changes the real leg room so the pitch measurement is almost useless.

I’m 5’7 and get uncomfortable on flights. I can’t imagine a 28" seat pitch being reasonable in any way.
