I've tried to tell "my airline" I hate it - by not flying, but they still update planes with smaller and smaller seats and less leg room.

Maybe I need to tweet to several airlines every time I drive somewhere instead of fly. I'd prefer to arrive in hours, but the last time I flew reminded me of why it had been years since I was on a plane.

That's funny. But I like the idea of signaling the market some way. In a sufficiently competitive market even your opt-out signaling would would work. In the deaf market of the airlines however, scaled coordination enough to tip power back passengers, may be the only unfortunate answer. You would need to coordinate your "drive instead of flying" with enough people at the same time in the same geography.

"@airline1 @airline2 @airline3 Which of you can sell me a seat from XXX to YYY that's large enough for an adult male?"
