I recline, and I don't begrudge the person in front of me doing the same. It's not his fault the airplanes were designed by greedy frick faces.

People moan and bitch and yet continue to fly. It ain't changing anytime soon.

I am 6'5 on the internet and 6'3 IRL. My knees are already against the seat in front of me. If I see the person in front of me try to recline I jam my knees into the seat and do not allow the seat to move back.

It used to not bother me too much, as I would just recline as well.

As long as I have an isle seat I can deal. If I'm stuck in the middle between two dudes that are my build, it's a real laugher. That's only happened twice and both times we all bought each other drinks and laughed it off.

As I get older and more curmudgeon like I get cranky about it.

I've always figured that if the dude in your seat isle in the first row reclines, everyone is gonna recline. It's like a chain reaction deal.

I'm 6'2, I hate flying. Not because of the uncomfortable seating, but because of the other people.

I want my own Jet.

Good lord, that is some of the dumbest shite I've ever heard.

They are designed for an industry that saw all six of it's legacy carriers file for bankruptcy in the first decade of this century. They are designed to reduce the cash hemorrhaging that caused AA to lose 8 BILLION dollars over a four year period.

Airline profits are extremely volatile, and averaged out are among the thinnest of any industry.

I thought you were banned recently for saying a bunch of derogatory things about our dark skinned brethren from the Middle East.

Must have been somebody else. My bad coach.

I haven't met someone who wouldn't raise their seat. However if some bitch splashed water on me. I'd just puke on her sometime during the flight.

I sleep sitting up. The entire plane is too cramped so I'm not about to drop my seat into someone's lap just because I can.

I think if you are on a <2 hour flight, you shouldn't recline your seat at all. The couple of inches aren't worth what trouble you are possibly causing behind you.

If someone is concerned about space, buy a first class ticket.
