The rapidly shrinking airline seat may be profitable for the carriers, but the discomfort for passengers has drawn the attention of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
An advisory committee will hear testimony today from expert witnesses, including the Federal Aviation Administration Civil Aerospace Medical Institute, the Centers for Disease Control, and the inventor of the Knee Defender, a gadget designed to prevent airline seats from reclining.
And it's tough times for people searching to rent in Hamilton. The vacancy rate for two-bedroom apartments in the city was just a 1.6 per cent in 2014, according to numbers generated specifically for the city by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp.
There are some slight delays on the Lakeshore West GO Train line this morning, and construction at Union and Burlington stations.
The intersection at Upper James and Rymal is expected to reopen at 7:30 a.m. after a collision downed a hydro pole.
Today's forecast calls for sunny skies and a high of 17 C.
It will dip down to 3 C tonight with a few clouds, before heading back up to 13 C Wednesday.
Expect showers for much of the rest of the week.

Among the most contentious pieces of a tentative deal struck between the city and Hamilton Street Railway bus drivers union to avoid a strike last week: A cap on the amount of physiotherapy the drivers can get.
The curb lane's potholes and storm drains make for a rough ride for the drivers, said Amalgamated Transit Union Local 107 president Eric Tuck. ATU 107 members will vote Wednesday whether to ratify the agreement, struck in the wee hours to avoid a strike last Thursday.
And a two-year moratorium on apartment building conversions to condos is in place after Hamilton's apartment vacancy rate dipped to its tightest level in more than a decade, a report presented Monday at a council committee advised.
The vacancy rate for two-bedroom apartments in the city of Hamilton was 1.6 per cent in 2014, according to numbers generated specifically for the city by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp.
