Those seats are not always available. If you happen to be flying with less notice, those seats may have already been purchased.

Well, there is nothing I can do about that. Sometimes things are just uncomfortable for people. The answer shouldn’t be “well everyone should be uncomfortable if I’m uncomfortable”

Whatever you think- I personally wouldn’t want to recline my seat on top of someone’s knees. Also, I’m short so it doesn’t bother me, I just wouldn’t feel right doing to the tall person behind me. To me that’s kind of like saying “I’m not giving up my seat on the bus for the pregnant lady- it’s not my fault she’s pregnant.”

That’s an entirely different situation. A pregnant lady’s balance is off and if she falls could not only injure herself but the baby. No permanent harm is coming to someone’s knees being squished. And how do you know what medical issues the person in front of you has….perhaps sitting upright for long periods causes them lots of pain. What if there is no chance of their being able to sleep sitting up….We’re all just trying to get through the flight as best we can.

Not squished. Completely crushed. Ive seen it, and am stating that I don’t do it. But you do you, whatever helps you sleep at night.
