United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz thinks airlines are reaching a breaking point with shrinking seat sizes. 'I think we are nearing a point certainly that we can't do that anymore,' he tells ABC News.

United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz thinks airlines are reaching a breaking point with shrinking seat sizes.

Munoz acknowledged having to stay competitive with peers and match many of their moves, but he admitted passengers may have had enough."It's complicated technology," he said."We will fix that, and, frankly, we would stop a lot of our growth if we could just stop and find the right provider and get that done. That's how important Wi-Fi is to us and to our customers."

"It's become so stressful," he said,"from when you leave, wherever you live, to get into traffic, to find a parking spot, to get through security."

Says the evil prick who THREE TIMES reduced the size of airline seats

Nearing?

Oscar jumped the shark when he OK'ed stuffing the 10th seat in the long-haul 777s. What an abomination!

Seat size 'breaking point' was passed long ago. Baggage fees need to stop. Premium seat charges need to go as well. And if no one can engineer a seat that reclines without inconveniencing other passengers then they need to NOT recline at all.

Just kidding...

Try hammocks-couldn’t be any worse

Nearing the point?

You hit that point 25 years ago dumbshit.

Better you should concentrate on doing proper Maintenance than downsizing Seats...

Aw cmon we love getting jammed in like tunas, circulation cut off, feet and ass numb. Ratchet that shit down. We can take it.

Less seats . Less profit. What do think is going to happen? Greedy idiots

It’s not the shrinking seat It’s the expanding asses in the seat

Airlines are the worst. Gouge you for every penny they can.

Now they realize....for fucks sake. Ever sit in one for 3 hours.😡😖😫

Ya think?

Flying is a last resort for me

United needs to work on customer service skills before they worry about seats!! They have some very rude staff!!

People like Stacy Abrams should sue.

He THINKS?! Humans need MORE COMFORT, NOT LESS. Aircraft architecture has to change fundamentally to do this. The only people in the way are the airlines and the aircraft manufacturers. Air travel is going to be devastated by consumer rejection. Trains are coming back.

Ya think? 🙄

I don’t care for United.

A Highflying Growth Strategy Is Paying Off for UnitedUnited Airlines hasn’t had to slash fares to fill its jets even as it bets big on midcontinent hubs such as Denver and Houston WTF?
