We've discussed this before but did you see the new development in the news?
http://www.usatoday.com/story/todayinthesky/2014/08/26/knee-defender-fight-united-flight-diverted/14609109/
Seems a woman wanted to recline her seat but the man behind her installed a lock thingie onto her seat so she couldn't.
Flight attendant asked man to remove lock, but he refused.
Words were exchanged.
Woman threw her water in the man's face.
Pilot decided to make an emergency stop to eject the two 48-year old immature brats.
I thought as long as seats can recline they may recline and I must just tolerate it as yet another sucky inconvenience of flying as cheaply as possible.
I guess I could buy a first class ticket, or not fly.
But apparently as personal space shrinks, as airlines cram more seats into coach, people are panicking.
Perhaps they need to modify seats so they don't recline any more.
Perhaps it is time for reclining seats to go the way of mandatory retirement age of 32 for the mandatoraly single, young, thin and pretty stewardesses.
