that establish minimum dimensions for passenger seats on
aircraft operated by air carriers in interstate air transportation or intrastate air transportation, including minimums for seat pitch, width, and length, and that are necessary for the safety and health of passengers


FAA decides, not congress.

Key phrase "Safety and health of passengers". How many people has Spirit or other ULCC killed due to seat pitch?

Our seat width is more than many legacy carriers, especially against the 737 seat width.

So do I think the FAA will enact minimums for seat pitch and width that will require all airlines to make their seats fatter and pitch greater, causing billions of dollars in expenses for the airlines?

No, I do not think so.

Great click bait nonetheless
Good point.
