    I’m 6’2" and I’ve never had a problem. Sure my knees almost touch the seat in front of me, but that’s it.

      Must be nice to be you and not me, unfortunately I’m not so lucky. 6’ is a generalization. Did you consider the possibility that we’ve flown on different airlines with varying seat sizes?

        I am 6"4". I keep sitting even though my legs are pressed in the seat before me. Because everything is better than standing with my back hunched over like a crooked banana. Hurts my back like crazy

          Also 6’4”, but I have knee problems as opposed to back problems so I’m in the standing up group. My dad has chronic back pain though, so I can totally see your point of view. I would which back problems on my worst enemy after seeing him suffer with it for decades.
