[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading the article about this, I have a couple thoughts:

&gt; He asked her to put her seat up during the meal so he could eat ... so she did, and only reclined after he was done eating.  
&gt; If he had said &quot;sorry to bother you again, but I really can't sit without the reclined seat hitting my knees,&quot; I suspect she would have put it up again.

The key to his first request was that it wasn't &quot;I don't think you should ever recline,&quot; but rather &quot;I'd like to eat the meal.&quot;

&gt; When she alerted the stewardess about the seat punching, the stewardess rolled her eyes and offered HIM a complimentary rum (yeah that'll make him behave better ... ), and gave HER a passenger disturbance notice, and threatened to have her escorted off the plane.

That is just plain weird. Either the stewardess is puncher-sympathetic (inexplicably) or there is more to the story? Why would a stewardess give a passenger a &quot;disturbance notice&quot; when the guy behind her is punching? If it all went down as the woman describes, that's the real issue with the airline.

I'm pro-recline. I recline when I'm tired so my head doesn't flop forward ... and when the person in front of me reclines into my lap, I figure that's the breaks and why my seat was so cheap. I'm 6' tall and usually just recline my seat in response ... and when I'm stuck by the bathroom at the back (like this guy was), I make a mental note NOT to choose middle seats over back seats in the future.

A flight from New Orleans to Charlotte is 2 hours.   2 hours.   You can go without reclining.   I really don't care if you "have sciatica" or whatever.  I fly internationally several times a year and never recline.   Miraculously, I'm still alive.  [/quote]
