You do understand that these seats recline on a pivot, right? 3 inches less space at the top does not mean 3 inches less space at your knees.

You are being as ridiculous as the money-grabbing woman in the video. Oh woe is me, the horrors! My knees! My back! My baby! The dandruff! Lack of air! I can't breathe! Help!

Come on now, tone it down.

You seem to forget that it wasn’t the so-called “anti-recliners” who started this thread. It was a bunch of people claiming it’s simply impossible—impossible!—to last an entire flight sitting upright.

How dare someone point out that my efforts to grab more space for myself are actually taking space away from them! Screw them! It’s my right!! Let them eat cake!

If they want to take away the recline feature on planes that actually doesn’t bother me nearly as much as telling people they may only recline with the “permission” of the person behind them. It’s either allowed or it isn’t.

For the 900th time, just because something is “allowed” does not mean it is the right thing to do. The airlines can’t make that moral decision for you. Only you can.

Who appointed you the Queen of Morality? Reclining your seat is not immoral FFS. I feel sorry for your kids and husband.

The only way to do this is with your wallet, which I do. I only fly JetBlue or SW domestically which have best in class economy legroom. (Alaska too but I haven’t had a need to fly them, but I would.)

6'3 and 6' poster, are you short-legged? Because I find it hard to believe it's so roomy for you.

I still don't understand how this is even a question. The person banging the seat is obviously the one who is wrong. Of course he had a right to be frustrated, but at his age, he should have developed coping skills for that by now. "Immoral" to recline a seat? Good lord.

I have a 6’4”, 230 lb DH and he is totally fine on JB and SW. If he’s forced to fly another airline for work, he pays for extra legroom. They extra inch or two on JB and SW make a huge difference. He also doesn’t put anything under the seat in front of him.

Thank you. We are lucky he didn’t have a gun. No self control or coping skills at all.

10000%

I hate that the seats recline but they do. I'm tall and annoyed when the person in front of me reclines, but I'm not a 2 year old and can still easily watch my iPad, phone, read, etc without the reclined seat impeding me in anyway. Yes, I have a little less space, but I'm not an asshole. That idiot is an asshole. Who punches someone seat like that for doing something the airline allows (by creating seats that recline). Insanity.

You are the type who needs an adult in charge to make basic decisions for you, aren't you. The idea of having to use manners and basic common courtesy to handle something so simple is too much for you. That is sad.

Hey douchebag - it's bad manners and immoral to take something that belongs to someone else, period. Demanding that someone else not use a feature because you are too cheap to buy a seat you can fit in is on you.

ie. The world doesn't owe you shit. The world isn't being immoral by not catering to you. You want something - then be an adult and pay for your own shit.

This is what is getting missed. If the person in front of him had been a 300 lb man he might have made some loud, pissy comments, but he for sure was not going to lift a finger. Just another idiot bully.

Probably not even that. He looks like a wimpy mama’s boyfriend living in a basement playing video games. Doubt he gets much action either.
