This is one of the most common arguments out there and there are people passionate about both sides, and one side will never convince the other that they are right.

The airlines consistently side with the recliner.

How they do... I have no fricking idea, honestly.

To me, if you have to recline your seat back and limit my already tiny space on the plane, you're being a baby. We're all uncomfortable on the flight. We all have a microscopic personal space on the plane. Suck it up for two hours. I mean, if you reline your enormous head into my lap, you're expecting me to man up and just deal with it, right?

"Just recline your seat back, then." - it's not about me reclining backward. I obviously don't need it. The issue is you're in my space forward of me.

But like I said before, according to the airlines, that space is not my space. It's actually yours.

So my opinion doesn't matter for shite. But I'll still say it anyway.

Pussies.

I don't fly that often, but when I'm booking I usually notice that he 1st class ticket prices are double what I'm paying in economy. Unless it was a really long flight, I don't see how it's worth the money at all, even with some free booze and a fancier bag of chips.
I guess for most, their employer is paying for it.

I've fly pretty regularly, mostly on smallish SW 737s or AA M80s between DAL/DFW and MSY. I'm a 6'1", 180 lb male. I rarely recline my seat, but I have never had an issue with the person in front on me reclining. A two-inch recline isn't that big of deal and it doesn't even come close to infringing on my already small space. Quit being a bitch or fly an airline that doesn't have reclining seats.

It's like two inches. It only marginally encroaches into your tray area. Only if you have more than a 34" inseam will you have an issue.
