Just reclining your seat, doesn't make you a dick. But if you are acting like a selfish dick, you can reasonably expect people to act that way back. And a lot of the "muh seat reclining is muh right" crowd here are giving off some serious dickhead vibes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If I just push my legs against the seat back so you can't recline then remember that it's my body and my choice. How much weight can you leg press ? VS how much the guy in front of you can press VS the airplane seat limits. Should be fun to watch. Let me know and I’ll sit across the aisle and video. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Been there, done that. Douche bag deserved it. But you are mostly right. Unfortunately I fly a fair bit for work. 95% of people don't recline their seat at all. Of the few who do, 90% are a minimal recline. About 1/3 of people who want to recline will ask the person behind them if it will bother them or not. In other words, when it comes to this topic, 99.999% of people have a miniscule of common courtesy. If shown courtesy, I will return it. Flying anything below business class is just a shared miserable experience for everyone involved. There's no reason to be a selfish dick to the other people around you, and make it worse. Sat behind one guy on a shorter flight once. Obviously he never flies. He was a big dude, used to bullying people. Reclined his seat as far and fast as pose when I was sleeping against the back of it. He got the knee to the back and constant shifting and bumping of his seat, the whole flight. He's the one douche I've come across who didn't have an ounce of common courtesy, in thousands of flights. Apparently we have a few people here like that too.

I'm 5'10 and my sitting buttock-knee length is 22.3". BESIDES The seat in front of you pivots at knee height so when it reclines it doesn't impact your knee space more than a fraction of an inch! Can the melodromatic bullshit! Just admit that you don't want people to use the feature they were sold by the airline because you feel like they are invading "your" space nevermind that you could recline your own seat.

I ALWAYS recline my seat all the way, as it was designed to operate. I fully expect the person sitting in front of me to do the same. It causes no disruption at all. If Andre the Giant or someone like him was behind me and asked me to move it forward I absolutely would.
ETA: ONE TIME I flew MIA to IAD and the guy sitting next to me was so big that I had to lean to the opposite side, his shoulders were literally wider than the seat, it kind of sucked. I didn't give him any shit, it isn't like he can shrink his shoulders to so as not to inconvenience me. |

Vast majority of people don’t recline??? Where in the hell did you get that from? On an international overnight flight for instance Atlanta to Johannesburg most of the flights leave in the afternoon and arrive the next day. After the dinner service they serve drinks and shortly after that the lights are dimmed way down. The passengers are encouraged to either sleep or watch some movies. MOST of the passengers will be fully reclined at this time and stay that way for several hours. |

That's fucking rude. Why is that rude? They paid for that space. No, they didn't. That's someone else's seat. That's where the storage pocket is. Baggage gets stowed. Tray table folds down. Infotainment is installed. Why shouldn't they nap on it? It's in their space, they paid for it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Where did I describe drama that "happens all the time"? I hope your writing abilities are better than your reading comprehension and observation of human behavior. Reclining is not at all the norm. Shit on short flights, you aren't even allowed to recline your seat for a large portion of the flight. And when it does happen, it's usually only a bit. Because most people have some semblance of common courtesy. As you've already admitted, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, because your experience is limited. So maybe just shut the fuck up, since your opinions are solely based on your poorly informed emotions. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I ALWAYS recline my seat all the way, as it was designed to operate. I fully expect the person sitting in front of me to do the same. It causes no disruption at all. If Andre the Giant or someone like him was behind me and asked me to move it forward I absolutely would. ETA: ONE TIME I flew MIA to IAD and the guy sitting next to me was so big that I had to lean to the opposite side, his shoulders were literally wider than the seat, it kind of sucked. I didn't give him any shit, it isn't like he can shrink his shoulders to so as not to inconvenience me.  i feel bad for the poor bastards who have to sit next to me.

Quote HistoryQuoted: There is no common courtesy anymore. It’s why we are all fucked. And some folks here would do well to look in a mirror, but they won’t because they think they are superior to others. That works, until it doesn’t. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: If you wanna be a childish dick on a plane, no one is going to stop you. Airline: "Here we paid for our seats to have a feature that adds weight that we continue to pay fuel budget for each flight. We sell you a seat with this feature." Passenger: "Oh sweet. I'll use that. It's comfy!" Missilegeek: "YOU CHILDISH DICK! I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR SEAT 100s OF TIMES AND CLAIM IT IS ACCIDENTAL EVEN THOUGH NOBODY BELIEVES THAT FOR A SECOND AND I EXPECT NO REPROCUSSIONS!!!" Here is a better idea than being passive aggressive: Why don't you just recline your seat as designed and intended by the airline that you knowingly and willingly bought a ticket on? Then you have the same amount of space, and you are more comfy. The vast majority of people disagree with you, and do not recline their seat. See my previous post, it's all about common courtesy. Just reclining your seat, doesn't make you a dick. But if you are acting like a selfish dick, you can reasonably expect people to act that way back. And a lot of the "muh seat reclining is muh right" crowd here are giving off some serious dickhead vibes. There is no common courtesy anymore. It’s why we are all fucked. And some folks here would do well to look in a mirror, but they won’t because they think they are superior to others. That works, until it doesn’t. It's a litmus test similar to if people return their shopping cart. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The vast majority of people disagree with you, and do not recline their seat. Just because you want it to be true because you imagine falsly that it grants your opinion weight, doesn't make it so. You are quite incorrect. I typically take 20-30 flights a year most years. I fly economy plus the majority of the time, plain economy about 25%, I am premium cabin <20% of the time. The point is I look at seat maps all the time, I know them well, and I spend enough time in the back to know that most people recline particularly on longer, redeye, or overnight flights. As bookings fill up and the left over seats are: 1. Middle seats 2. Seats that don't recline. 3. Seats in the back. This demand for recline is particularly true for premium economy seats. The last premium economy rows to book are almost always the front overwing exit row and the row in front of it because everyone knows these seats don't recline. Right now I am literally booking a short notice 4 hour flight and my choice is economy plus with no recline or regular economy in the back with recline. |

I personally don't recline unless the seat is vacant or it's an overnight international flight and everyone around me is reclined. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Didn't you have a hissy and quit the forum? When did you crawl back? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: If someone reclining a seat bothers you so much. There's an HOA run by Karens for you somewhere. All I see are a bunch of sissies who say .40 S&W will shatter their wrists and that they're commie Oatmeal Raisinist lovers too. Recline, don't recline, who cares. Stop being poor, stop flying commercial. Didn't you have a hissy and quit the forum? When did you crawl back? If true he probably realized he had no place to bitch about Trump constantly and his fellow N_T's needed him... |

That's fucking rude. Again, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. There's about as many people who do that, as recline their seat. One effects another person, the other doesn't. Neither is a big deal, unless you are a cunt in how you go about it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Vast majority of people don’t recline??? Where in the hell did you get that from? On an international overnight flight for instance Atlanta to Johannesburg most of the flights leave in the afternoon and arrive the next day. After the dinner service they serve drinks and shortly after that the lights are dimmed way down. The passengers are encouraged to either sleep or watch some movies. MOST of the passengers will be fully reclined at this time and stay that way for several hours. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: The vast majority of people disagree with you, and do not recline their seat. Yeah, that's just not true. Vast majority of people don’t recline???

MOST of the passengers will be fully reclined at this time and stay that way for several hours. I've flown dozens of international overnight flights. While reclining is more common on those flights, than shorter flights, your statement is complete horseshit. Most don't recline at all. Of those who do, they only recline some of the way. The majority of people just sleep sitting up, with an airplane pillow. Or not at all. |

I just wish people would look back before reclining.
I've seen laptops and other tech get hit & fall by large people just pushing back and lowering the seat quickly... I've also slept with my head on the tray table and gotten hit in the head. Also even in first class on domestic flights the person in front of you can interfere with what's on your tray table. I generally don't recline because it doesn't make me any more comfortable and why make the person behind me less comfortable. |

Most people who recline, tend to do so a little at a time, and pay attention to the person behind then and what they are doing. And most people who recline, don't fully recline. |
