I also have a seat that I can raised the armrest and have more space.. so if I'm in the middle seat.. is it my right to raised both arms up?.. screw my seat mates?... of course not..I share that space..with them
Now if the seat next to me is empty I can use that extra space .. but if its not empty.. we are sharing that space.
It works the same for reclining seats.. we all payed for the SAME AMOUNT of space...
If there is an empty seat beside me I can raised the arm and use the extra space at will..
If there is an empty seat behind me I can recline the seat and use that extra space at will..
But if the the seat beside me or behind me is full.. We are sharing that space and you have no RIGHT to just take it at will and screw the other person out space they payed for.
This “because the seat can do it I can screw you”” is bs logic.. guess what .. my seat has a tray table...i have a right to use.. but you recline I can not use it.. that why the crew ask you raise you seat during cabin service.
So are you being screw by the airline when you are ask to raise your seat?.Do I not have a right to use my tray table? I paid for it.
Your sharing space with people beside you, behind you, and even in front on you (you want me to kick the back of the seat in front of me all flight?)...
You are sharing space ...if it empty behind or beside you go for it.. else be polite and ask because it NOT your space to take at will
BTTT
I can’t agree with your statements. I can see how it would upset a person, but can’t agree.
Everyone has the same space, if one reclines and you recline, it’s still the same space. Those fold down trays work at any angle, I’ve never had a problem with that. Then again I mostly fly Westjet, or Air Canada or Cathay Pacific.
I don’t know what airlines you fly, but I have never been asked to make my seat upright before cabin service. Nor, in my experience, does a reclined seat prevent the person behind from using his tray table.
