Airlines for America, a trade group for the airline industry, has rejected the idea of legroom and seat width standards.

Of course.

“We also believe that government should not regulate airline seat sizes, but instead market forces and competition should determine what is offered,” said Jean Medina, a spokeswoman for the airline group.

Ah, yes, those magical, illusive “market forces and competition” that are harder to find than the Higgs boson.
