I like the people that never put the seat back up when landing. The announcement is made, they make no movement to adjust their seat. The flight attendant gives them the friendly reminder, they still make no attempt. Finally, they get the more stern instruction from the flight attendant and finally put their seat back up. I just choose not to be a fucking asshole and recline my seat in the first place.

If you know that economy class has limited leg room and you know that you have longer than average legs and you book a ticket in economy class anyway then you created your own problem. The person sitting in front of you didn’t create your problem.
Pay for economy plus or economy comfort or business class. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Because the airlines have decided because I'm over 6 feet and have thighs I should have my knees crushed so somebody else can be comfy I thank you for my 5 hours of misery and having them crushed by your seat back and then slammed by the stewardess carts when I try and angle them into the passage way. But as long as you're comfortable  I’m 6’1. No issues like the one you’re imagining. Of course my feet are extended under the seat in front of me (not protruding from under it). |

It’s amusing because there is no chance in hell any of you would ever say or do anything in real life. And yea, I am calling you a liar, publicly, if you boast that you would.

But as long as you're comfortable Sounds like a “you” problem. I still want to know how people are getting "crushed" by the seat in front of them. They hinge at the seat back, which is basically where the knees are of the person behind you. But it's a hinge, not a slide, and the seat reclines what, maybe 10-15 degrees? The displacement of the seat at knee height, a few inches above the seat, is fractions of an inch at most. I'm 6'2" and have never been "crushed". I call BS. Now, the 6'6" guys who flat out don't fit in coach? Yeah, I feel for you. As for anyone sitting next to me. Legs I can arrange for comfort, but I can't shrink my shoulders. Anyone wider than soy boy, and we're arm to arm the full flight. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Only assholes try to deny other people the standard functionality of an airplane seat I'm 6'2". I've never had my "knees crushed " by someone in front of me reclining. It only comes back what, like 3 inches? If you're that bothered pick a seat with more space. I don't even have back problems, but sitting bolt upright gives me lower back pain pretty quickly. Reclining isn't a "fuck the person behind me" choice, it's a necessity if I'm sitting in one place for multiple hours. You're an inch taller than me. Femur is what, maybe a quarter of your height? So likely your thighs are maybe 1/4" longer than mine. I highly doubt that's the difference between "no issue at all" and "OMG I'm in agony!" |

6’1” and fly SWA almost exclusively. I prefer the window seat, gives my shoulders a couple extra inches, and either have status or pay for an upgrade to make sure it happens. I offer the arm rest to the person riding in the middle and don’t recline my seat. It’s SWA, it isn’t designed to be comfortable.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I didn't care if the person in front reclined... in the early 90's when planes had a larger seat pitch. Now? Imagine getting in someone's face like that in any other setting. I'm going to do everything in my considerable power to make sure you get the lower back massage you've earned by reclining that seat. What's beautiful about this is that at first, the person will be all like "Hahahahah. Dumbass ass behind me is hatin' life. Fuck that guy. I'm staying." But that will turn in to "Fuck. I hate that guy. My back's killing me and I can't sleep from the random intermittent interruptions." But you know what? You won't sit back up. Your pride won't let you. And that's when I own your ass. If you fuck with my seat I'll have a nice talk with the flight attendant and she will screw your dumb ass head back on straight. |

I don't understand how people can get so upset about the seat in front of them coming back an inch or two. People are using the seat as designed. If I still flew, I would let the guy behind me know that I was about to recline my seat so not to spill his drink or disrupt anything. Retaliating for someone reclining can probably get you thrown off the plane at the next stop. Let's all just act like decent human beings. |
