I missed the "rule making by DOT" in Jim's post.
Considering all the flack we got (and still get) in regards to the previously citeed section, that is not going to happen in the immediate future.
But the simpe rule of thumb should be... If you can not sit in the seat facing forward with the armrest down, you need 2 seats. Plain and simple. No need for a flight attendant or gate agent to make a subjective, and often wrong, decision.
