Exactly. The seats are small enough, and now some jerk is making a device preventing the seat from reclining the few nanometers one now gets on a commercial (coach) flight?
Here’s an idea: for all those who can’t tolerate the dang seat going back a half degree into “their” space, buy a better seat yourself. That’s my space your taking with the “Knee Defender”.
When I buy an airline ticket, I’m paying for both the seat I’m sitting in because that’s where my butt goes AND the space in front of me because that’s where my knees go. People who recline ought to be levied a luxury fee for voluntarily appropriating additional space in addition to an inconveniencing fee for voluntarily decreasing the space of another passenger. It’s called theft, and if they don’t want to pay up, fine; ban them for life from ever again flying on your planes.
I’m no airline piker, having flown 162,000 air miles last year.
