[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m short . [b]I recline my seat[/b] for long flights. I do not think it is rude.

The airline made me do it!

:roll:

Pathetic.[/quote]

I fully agree with the PP. The seats recline. If the airline isn't providing enough space to recline without infringing on the next passenger, they need to fix it and stop framing it as an etiquette problem. It's a design problem because they are cramming us in like sardines to maximize profits.[/quote]

Everyone needs to seriously stop blaming the airlines. Just check out the income statement and balance sheet of almost any US airline. They are not raking in the money! Nobody wants to enter this crappy business. THe reality is that the business has expanded so much that now poor people are a huge part of the customer base. People don't want to pay more than $200 for a domestic plane ticket. And sorry, that doesn't pay the bills. The seats have been getting more cramped because of this. If you don't like it, fly business. When people start paying more money for bigger seats, the supply of seats on planes will shift to bigger seats. It's like saying why are their no flip phones anymore. Because nobody bought them! "It's an evil scheme!" lol[/quote]

Total B.S.  If they offered a better product, we'd pay more. Jet Blue is a great example with their tv monitors.  It's a superior experience and proves the mold can be broken.  We all pay more than $200 bucks because they nickel and dime us on anything.  I would happily fly any disruptor. They have captive (literally and figuratively) and most of us would desperately flock to a better option.  [/quote]

Well, that's you. I can tell you that most people I know absolutely would not and instead are flocking to the bottom of the barrel such as Spirit airlines. Did you see the post like three before yours where the woman didn't buy her child its own seat and instead decided to come here and complain about someone reclining? So, clearly, no, a substantial portion of the population would not happily pay more for better seats. This is also evidenced by numerous open business/first class seats that get filled by "free upgrades" of frequent flyers. I often see them half empty before upgrades. So, flock to business class if you're so concerned[/quote]
