I think much of the problem stems from the airlines not decreasing the ‘reclinability’ of seats as they have decreased the space between them. I find the upright position very uncomfortable, but it only takes an inch or two of recline to fix that. I don’t recline completely because I know how annoying it is and I’m comfortable enough without doing it.

I don’t think another passenger should be able to stop my seat from reclining, and the passenger who did that was wrong in the first place and extra wrong when he refused to remove the device when asked by the flight attendant. If you need space that badly then you should buy a seat that supplies it without infringing on your fellow passengers. But I think if the airlines would restrict the recline angle a bit they would probably nip a lot of these problems in the bud.

Yup. A little tilt will do ya.

If you need to recline that badly then you should buy a seat that supplies that, without infringing on other’s sore and squished knees and legs.

I’m amazed at the people on here that believe their “right” to recline supersedes everything else and everyone else. Almost leftist in your self centeredness.
