Well, like anything else, a little bit of common courtesy would have avoided the whole thing. My coworker was trapped in the last row of a plane where the seats do not recline because they are against the bulkhead. Then the a-hole in front of him decided to push his seat all the way back. He had zero room. That was not very courteous of the person in front. My coworker had to bang against the back of seat just to move and there was almost an altercation because the idiot up front thought he was doing it on purpose.

I never recline my seat on airplanes, and frankly, I think the recliners should be disabled if they are going to jam people in like sardines.

I agree. I'm someone that traveled for a living for a couple of years. If in coach... I never reclined a seat if the seat behind me was occupied. For me it was a courtesy thing.

I agree. I travel for work a lot and sit up in economy plus on United. Reclining doesn’t add any comfort anyway. Many posters here seem to think it’s ok if the person in front o you reclines as long as you can recline too. Doesn’t really work that way with a laptop.
