I’m always amazed when people moan about the seat pitch on the charter 757’s when they’re most defdinately under 6ft. I have worked on the 757 as crew for a well known British charter airline for 10 years now, I’m 5ft10 and fit quite comfortably into one of the seats. Yes it’s tight but my knees don’t touch the seat infront. Maybe it’s more to do with your posture when you sit (hence you must be slumped half way down the seat) or your legs equate to 3/4’s of your body height I have no idea.:confused: :confused: :confused:

I have a very good posture when sitting, no slouching at all.

I’m telling ya, those seats were packed VERY close together. G-FCLE was the aircraft I got both ways to and from Zante. It was the tightest configuration I’ve ever been in.
Before that, the tightest was Easyjets 737s and even that config allowed me some breathing room. Heck, even a Beech 1900D afforded me more legroom than G-FCLE did.

Anyway, I’m usualy the last to complain about anything when flying. I love flying and am generally very appreciative of the experience. My original reply was not so much a complaint, but a statement of fact.

By comparison, my Excel Airways flight to and from Kos on a 737-800 was much more comfortable. Plenty of legroom. Enough even for the 6 foot something member of our part to spread his legs out a little. I can’t fault that service at all.
