Half a foot larger in what way? Length won't help much. Height? Then you're adding _a lot_ of additional weight because you have to increase the radius of the fuselage.

Big commercial planes do not have their radius defined by the seats and controls in the cockpit. It would not need to increase.
Or you shift the cockpit back
