“If I’m paying for a seat, I will recline.”
You don’t pay for the seat behind you that you are invading.
So, let me throw your belligerence back at you: If I am paying for a seat I will protect the space of that seat and annoy the crap out of you if you recline.
You are paying for a seat not space. If airlines provide a reclining option then the “reclinee” has every right to use the seat as the airlines and manufacturer allow.
What about the reclining seat in front of me that someone ELSE paid for. They can do what they want as well.
Belligerent? Really.
It’s mainly the people who don’t fly much who feel the need to recline. Anybody who has to fly a lot recognizes that reclining is a real invasion of space and can cause pain to the passenger behind. Frequent flyers are considerate and don’t do it.
Wrong. We're paying for all the space any given seat occupies, in any of it's operational configurations.
