[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He was eating food on his tray and asked her to raise her seat up. She did.  When he finished eating, she reclined her seat again. He got aggravated and at some point the flight attendant came over talked to the two of them and offered HIM a free drink.  The lady remained reclined in her seat and when he started to drum on her seat that's when she started to video tape him.  He kept drumming on her seat for a good part of the rest of the flight it looked like.

They both behaved like jackazzes.

She claimed he punched the back of her seat several times with a lot of force.  Once she started recording he switched to the drumming which is what the video shows.

I do lot understand why planes do not have security cameras on them.  Seems it would stop so much of the he said she said.[/quote]

His reaction was over the top but her unwillingness to rectify the situation by moving her seat up was also over the top.  There is no "victim" here.  They both behaved liked jerks and deserve absolutely nothing from the airline.  I hope they get nothing.  [/quote]

How exactly did she behave like a jerk? By using a seat feature that she has every right to use?! And if the person in front of her also reclined his seat, which is most probable, would you advise her to bang their seat until they also sit in straight position? How is he more entitled to space than she is? I’ve been in his shoes where I had to sit on a non reclining seat on a transatlantic flight and it didn’t occur to me to force the person in front to not recline their seat. And yes, I had less space than others, but I didn’t feel that this gave me the right to make the whole 47 seats in front of me sit straight. [/quote]

She was a jerk because he had asked her previously to put her seat up because he was too cramped to eat the food on his tray and she raised her seat while he ate.  As soon as he finished eating she put her seat back down, he objected again and she ignored him.  The flight attendant came over and this lady refused to raise her seat even a little bit to give the guy behind her some more breathing room.

The whole thing was absolutely ridiculous.  I find both of these passengers to be at fault.[/quote]

She accommodated him for the meal. Why should she continue to not recline her seat after he finished his meal? So he could put his iPad on it? So him watching the iPad trumps her need for space? And if the seat in front of her was free and there was no one reclined in it, why didn’t he just switch seats? Most probably because it was taken and because the person also reclined in it. Again, his issue is with the airline, and not with the woman! Why didn’t the captain make an announcement and ask all C seats to straighten their seats - so that me entitled can watch his iPad on an open tray. Because he was looking for someone to pick on and she was just in front of him and weaker looking. He is a BULLY![/quote]
