The first three posters here must be short people. If you are over six feet tall like I am, a reclining seat in front of you on an airliner is murder to your knees and makes for a very uncomfortable flight, that I paid good money for. One of many reasons that I will never fly again.
I’m with you. At 6 foot 2 I can’t fly with the person leaning back on my knees.
That said, society has deteriorated to the point that people can’t handle minor issues respectfully without having to be told by the government what to do.
And diverting a flight over it?
Come on! Am I the only one that thinks that response is a tad overkill?
Surely so,evoke with a cool head could bring common sense to the situation and everyone move on.
What a pitiful society this has become.
And GM hasn’t made a Corvette in 40 years that can fit me. Maybe I can sue to get a custom job.
The Americans with Disabilities Act fits in here somewhere, I’m pretty sure.
Just fly 1st class, or business class on overseas flights. I think the spacing is different. (So are the benefits. Long ago, on Pan American JFK to Narita, in 1st class they served Dom Perignon all the way --)
