Ha Ha.😁 There are actually two stops -- the row just before the exit rows does not recline and as you said there is the last row in the plane. Even in First Class on some older aircraft the last row of seats would only recline slightly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I hate you because you’re tall. Maybe I hate you because you keep kicking my seat. Maybe I hate you because you have the wrong sports team on your sweatshirt. Maybe I hate you because I’m in pain and putting my seat up causes me more pain. They put the seat “enough” for you to get out and you did. So what else were you expecting? did you read where I said barely able to get out! . A considerate person would have at least put their chair up to allow a person to exit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha Ha.😁 I view the reclined seat in front of me as my grab bar. Just grasp the top of the seat and pull, really assists to stand and move out of the small space. The person in the reclined seat has to deal with a little turbulence, but cest la vie. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a cascade of hair dangling over your side of the seat, be sure to get a little that, too! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey that person in front of me is rude? Better teach him some manners by being rude too. Talking to people is so old fashioned. Now that person in front of me better not say anything to me! That would be rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the man in front of me reclined his seat, I could not get out and I m not a big person. Or, you have food/drink on your tray and the person decides to recline. I have never had my drink get in the way of a reclined seat in front of me..and we sure took this thread off the rails. 🙂 Edited August 22 by PTC DAWG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldubs Posted August 22 #108 Share Posted August 22 4 hours ago, zitsky said: Well you asked someone politely to move his seat and he….. did it? I’m not sure where “reluctantly” comes in. Should he have promised to never recline his seat again? Reclining is mandatory for some people. I’ve experienced coming home with back pain from a bad airline seat. Please don’t ask me to just sit there upright for 9 hours. Don’t punish another passenger for a decision made by an airline CEO. It doesn't need to be mandatory. It is their seat. They can recline it if they want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also -- I have seen people come very close to hurting themselves by leaning forward, to release the stop and then fall back because they missed the stop when trying to lean back further. Life is essentially the race between people making the world idiot proof and the universe making a bigger, better idiot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The replacements are IMO kitchen chairs and very uncomfortable, not meant for lounging. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However,there are seats which are fixed, meaning they don't recline...somewhere around the middles rows. So more than one person gets squished...😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't Legal be considered part of HQ or am I on another planet? And CEO's don't actually get sued for corporate litigation.......the company is sued and pays the bill. OT....I'm sure busy on this site today...cool outside and just finished a round of golf! Back to replacing lounge chairs and zip ties. They are very uncomfortable laying flat or in fact, I don't remember if they even can lay flat...but for years I've enjoyed relaxing in a partially flexed chair which has NEVER hit the window/door.
