Now, if they could just figure out a way to make sure that the armrest--even this new design--would always be visible above the folds of lard from the person next to you who will complain loudly about the fact that airplane seats are shrinking in size.

As a friend of mine here in Dallas says..."Anymore, there seem to be five basic sizes of airline passenger--small, medium, large, extra-large, and Oh-my-god-it's-moving-our-way. Category 5 always is seated next to me.

I get the last standby seat between two Category 5s.  And I'm Category 3 myself.
