It is the airline at fault-not the passenger using seat as designed delisen Feb 2020 #76

Airlines should increase the space or lock the seats. Hermit-The-Prog Feb 2020 #3

Ive been afflicted with physical pain from someone reclining. NutmegYankee Feb 2020 #12

Respectfully Joinfortmill Feb 2020 #25

So you're telling me you wouldn't react to pain like a sentient being? NutmegYankee Feb 2020 #33

Yes -- it is a reason I think ALL airlines should fix all seats in the upright position. n/t pnwmom Feb 2020 #69

My height is 6 feet 7 inches. LastDemocratInSC Feb 2020 #23

I agree. The seats are too close together for anyone to recline. I am under 6 feet pnwmom Feb 2020 #26

When it looks like it would inconvenience somebody, Igel Feb 2020 #32

Nope. Now that they've given so little clearance between seats, they should make them non-reclinable pnwmom Feb 2020 #24

And if it's a long flight and they all want to sleep, Igel Feb 2020 #34

It's a recliner. LakeArenal Feb 2020 #28

That's why they should fix all the seats into an upright position. Now that they're squeezed pnwmom Feb 2020 #47

Fair is taking out seats and making room for all people. LakeArenal Feb 2020 #48

Well, obviously ticket prices would go up then, and as long as everyone's fine with that. nt coti Feb 2020 #50

I have never resented the passenger in front of me for reclining. Mister Ed Feb 2020 #35

If a seat is made to recline then you have paid for that space. ooky Feb 2020 #36

The person behind her couldn't recline. Codeine Feb 2020 #40

Oh, did not catch that. ooky Feb 2020 #42

Another solution would be to give the back row in each section more legroom than other rows, pnwmom Feb 2020 #73

True. ooky Feb 2020 #78

The person at the back of the section or plane CANNOT recline. pnwmom Feb 2020 #58

Did not realize it was the back seat ooky Feb 2020 #72

What about the person in front of the person in front of the back? jberryhill Feb 2020 #83

That's what I'm saying. No one should be reclining because the seats are too close now. pnwmom Feb 2020 #84

They already do that. jberryhill Feb 2020 #86

No, they don't. The rows at the very back of every section are NOT exit rows and they don't recline. pnwmom Feb 2020 #90

That's why the airline should either increase everyone's legroom or disable the reclining function. pnwmom Feb 2020 #100
