I get on a airliner for one reason; to get where I want to go a long
distance away, quickly, and cheaply.

Cram me in, and let me spend the extra saved money, the way I want
to, at the other end.

See what I mean?

Not really, because Morgans' response was to Phil's question,

" Imagine if an
airline started flying an airplane with twice as much legroom, more
aisles, and wider seats. Maybe even seats that really recline. And
at a lower cost. Let's say 5 or 10 percent lower. I bet they would
fill those planes on most flights. Wouldn't you be willing to pay
less to get more?"

OTOH, your statement seems to be hinged on the assertion that,

"consumers are always looking for a 'deal.' ..."

So, I'm confused, unless you are suggesting that consumers prefer a *bad*
deal based on Morgans' preference alone. I suspect that most of us would
take the "pay less and get more" route, given a choice. ;-)
