Tall people will have to go on feeling a bit cramped while riding on airplanes.

A California Court of Appeals panel rejected a lawsuit against several airlines, including American and Southwest, by the Tall Club of Silicon Valley which sought preferential seating in roomier exit rows for men at least 6 foot, 2 inches and women at least 5 foot, 10 inches.

The court panel, which ruled on Friday, refused to get involved in airline regulations, Thomas Cohen, a lawyer for the group, said on Tuesday.

I am so happy that this was turned down. I'm 6'3 and I don't have a problem with airline seats. These idiots just want to make money. Good Job CA.
