It's about time. Passengers that have paid for tickets should be able to fly as comfortably as possible. There is no reason why someone should be spilling over into my seat. Hey pal, you bought a seat, it's 19inches wide, you do the math. And I think it's fairly obvious when someone is not going to fit into the seat. The chairs at the gates are much wider than the chairs onboard. If a passenger has a problem sitting in the waiting area, he'll probably have a bigger problem once on board.
