No it is not your imagination, airplane seats are getting smaller and the FAA wants it to stop.
A bill before Congress will force the airline industry to set a minimum seat width.
According to reports the average number of seats in an aircraft has increased by 8 percent over the past 15 years, which means seats are smaller.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration notes it not just about comfort, under U.S. law passengers must be able to get out of a plane cabin within 90 seconds.
