Re: Reclining - or Not on Airplanes

Seems to me on most of the airliners I fly on, both Boeing and AirBus, that even when reclining it barely goes back maybe 3" and even IF the person in front of me reclines, my tray table remains nice and level and still plenty of room for me. Not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.

I'm puzzled by this.

Why would the person seated behind you, care if you get up? You may grab the seat of the person in front of you, and the person next would have to get up, but how does it inconvenience the person behind you?

He had to move his tray up so I could get out. He made other remarks when I returned.

Reporting harassment is a very good thing. Q needs to know about this.

You obviously haven't been on a airline lately.

{#emotions_dlg.lol}Yes, this is a very urgent matter that needs attention right away.

I think they might be busy dealing with all those complaining about Renee's dancing last night.

Re: Reclining - or Not on Airplanes

I was on an airplane in May. Not that I care but I honestly can't figure out why the person behind you would have to move his tray for you to get out?

Now granted, I flew Southwest so there is no difference in seating arrangements. We were crammed in like sardines.

Re: Reclining - or Not on Airplanes

I've flown a millions times, and the person behind me would have no reason to put the tray up.

I just flew in July.
