[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good question. I am pretty sure that the airlines design those seats so that they are reclined often, except during takeoff/landing/meals.

[b]They were designed this way before they took away a lot of the distance between rows. They did not change the design. The level of reclining is not as feasible as it once was. [/b]What is going on in this thread had to do more, in my view, with the sense of entitlement of many PPs than with airline design and policies.[/quote]

[b]Funny-- I'm anti-reclining and this is exactly how I feel about those of you who think that laying your head back in my lap is not an imposition. [/b][/quote]

The total amount that the seat reclines at the top is less than 5 inches. If my head is in your lap from a reclining seat then you likely weigh close to 500 pounds and would be extremely uncomfortable no matter what seat configuration it was. The base of the seat barely reclines at all and the top by about 5". I am guessing many of you anti-recliners actually don't fly considering you seem to be completely unaware of what reclining seats actually do. They barely move - just a few inches to make sitting more comfortable, sitting at 90 degrees isn't really proper body mechanics and is uncomfortable. Most office chairs, most cars have slight recline features so you are sitting comfortably. It would make sense that when trapped in a seat for endless hours that an airplane seat would do likewise.
