Narrative:

I'm writing to express a general safety concern regarding the new boeing 757 aircraft configuration for [company] airlines mainline domestic routes. So many safety issues but my biggest concern is the fact that in order to squeeze more passengers onto the aircraft; they literally put another row of passengers in blocking the exit door at door 2R.leaving no clear egress if one was required during an actual emergency evacuation. Not only is it a horrid eye sore with all passengers crammed in; it is extremely unnerving to see this configuration roll out this year. [Company] also removed one lavatory while increasing the number of passengers. And reduced the size and space in the mid-galley; taking out virtually all counter/work space; trash receptacle; and drains. While there are still coffee makers there; but nowhere to dump unused hot coffee.
