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

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

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
