I shouldn't have to pay more for human sized seating. They should be removing seats not adding them. Airlines seem to think the only people who travel by air are pygmy people.
Airlines have a tremendously tight profit margins. On average they make about $4 for every passenger carried. They need to move as many people as possible to sustain their business. The flip side of that is that the cost of flying has fallen dramatically over the past few decades (primarily due to mass deregulation in the 80's) and new hubs and lines have proliferated. There is a definite limit to what people will tolerate but the more strictures and penalties you heap on them the more you should expect costs to rise.
