The only person on any airplane I’ve been on who reclines his seat is the guy sitting in front of me.
Sorry, did I bother you?
I won’t do it again.
But seriesly. This is a good move. I hate reclining seats. Unless there is no one behind you, or if there is and they don’t mind having 3 inches of knee space, then why have reclining seats?
A reasonable compromise might be to design the seats to decline 15 degrees and no more.
15 degrees is fine for a catnap and not so obnoxious to the person seated behind.
If somebody wants a damn bed they can buy one of those first class seats which recline the full 90 degrees.
I used to be told that reclining one’s seat was rude. Now, the first thing that happens when we get airborne and the light goes off, is the back of the seat in front of me is shoved in my face, probably by the guy who moved my little carryon to make room for his suitcase that contains all of his worldly possessions.
