Air rage: Is reclining your seat a right? - CNN.com
I don't know how some of you feel and maybe it is a biased decision based on your size.
I for one, CAN NOT STAND reclining seats in airplanes. I use to get fucking furious if someone tried reclining in front of me. 1st off, being 6'3 with long legs, i barely have room to begin with, so when someone reclines their seat i am forced to either spread my legs into the people next to me and into the isle, or fold my feet under my chair and cross my feet.
So i choose neither and will sit there with my knees together, which my knees already touch the seat without it being reclined. Thus they cant recline it. They try for about 2 minutes then give up. Sometimes they turn around looking at me like wtf is going on but i just tell them, should have bought first class.
Which is funny because that applies to me as well. So now that i am older and more patient i tend to look at things differently. I no longer blame the person in front of me. Like all things, human nature, if it is possible to do, someones going to do it.
The problem lies within the airlines. I am sure ages ago this seemed like a great idea but it is flawed and needs to be fixed.
Here is my solution:
Local non-transcontinental/trans-country flights need to have planes with non reclining chairs. I don't care if you worked all day and flew 3 times, you can sit up in a chair for 1-4 hours. They make those head things now that will keep your head from falling to the side when you go to sleep.
All flights that are out of country/continent, can have the reclining chairs because those planes are larger and already have more room in between the chairs.
Or they can just determine this by the average hours a flight takes. 1-4 hours, no recline.
