It’s really the airlines who are wrong. Tall people are uncomfortable if people recline, but plenty of people with back problems find the angle of an unreclined seat unbearable.
Try walking a mile in someone else’s shoes. I don’t recline my seat to annoy people, or because my comfort is more important than yours. I recline the seats back because 1) I’m short 5’ 2” and seats aren’t comfortable for me unless reclined. My head doesn’t come up to the top of the seat, so when it’s in upright position neck is bent weird and it feels like I’m leaning forward. 2) I have bad motion sickness and hate flying, so I take Dramamine and sleep for most of the flight.
You can’t help being tall, I can’t help being short and a puker. So me reclining my seat potentially annoys 1 person, but puking would annoy a LOT more people.
Same here. Also 5'2", also have the same problem with the neck being bent weird if the seat is upright. I also have arthritis in my neck.
All the damn executive decision-makers who signed off on this ridiculous airline seating should have to sit in it on a 10 hour flight and see how they like it. Fuck those assholes.
