I see it differently. The airlines ought to treat passengers better and space the rows farther apart so that we can all have enough space to recline. It's the configuration that's causing these problems.

Until passengers vote with their feet/wallets on this, the airlines will continue. It’s business. That does in no way excuse the man’s behavior.

You can't vote with your feet when all airlines are eliminating space. Seats shouldn't recline...they should reconfigure seats so the bottom moves forward to make it recline. That way, if you want to recline, then you sacrifice your own leg room.

Either way, I think the woman was a media whore who is trying to get paid. If she was really in pain and in danger, then she had many opportunities to un-recline her seat. I would assume that her health is the most important thing so she had options. I'm not excusing the guy's actions at all but she could've easily ended it by sitting up.

Lots of people are voting with their feet. I flew spirit once, never again. Same with Frontier. There are lots of people like me who share the same sentiment. I also will not buy a basic economy seat or even an economy seat (the premium economy seats are not that much more expensive.)

If you buy a crap seat, expect a crap seat.

Really? You would punch the guy before you simply just...raised your seat?

As much as liberals want the US to be a communist country, this is isn't a communist country. You get what you paid for, not what you need or what you demand. You don't get to demand how the seat in front of you is used (unless you pay for that seat too).

You don't fly on a plane because you expect luxurious comfort. Planes are not comfortable. You are dealing with the public and those people come in many different sizes and shapes. Some of them smell funny. Some of them sloppily chew with their mouths open or do other obnoxious things. Some of them object if you recline your seat. Some recline their seat anyway in spite of your objections.

You are on the plane to get from point A to point B. Period. Flying is a necessary evil. It is simply made more bearable when people use basic common courtesy with one another.

No. That’s you. I expect to get the amenities I paid for. Sometimes that’s a business class seat, sometimes economy. I never expect or demand that another passenger give up something someone else has paid for.
