Are you a seat recliner ?

[ozmille]

Didn't Ryanair do that? Remove reclining seats as it saved weight and cost?

Probably, or maybe installed a paying mechanism if you want to pay for a recline

Cousin of mine did the red-eye from PER on JQ and the seats did not recline on that aircraft...

I am fairly sure a section of JQ A320's don't have reclining seats.

I still think the best solution is non-recliners at the front of the cabin and recliners at the back of the cabin and they can recline all over each other to their hearts content.

As I said in another thread outside of meal times "all's fair in love and reclining in long haul Y"

Actually put the non-recliners at the back and I'll totally agree with you. :mrgreen:

How is that going to help? Lucky I can get bulkhead >80% of the time.

Because if they're up the back I can stay in the front seats.

How about one side of the plane reclines and the other doesn't?

Now..now...that might upset the balance

How about non recliners only fly when there is enough of them to fill their own aircraft :!: :shock:

From what I can see only one group are asked to compromise and be considerate.

Feature is there and we can use it. Me, me, me, me and me....

I think you can aim the 'me, me, me, me' at both sides of the argument. Ultimately that is what both sides are arguing!

FWIW, typically I don't use the full recline, but if the person in front chooses to, I pretty much have to.

I agree, if the pax in front reclines, what choice do I have ? As many pax have pointed out, if the airlines provide the facility to recline, like it or hate it, you can't fight it. I personally rarely recline as I rarely sleep on planes except for the above situation. No point having an air rage incident over something that you can't control.

Not quite. My non-reclining does not harm anyone. And that is the key to this argument.

That I understand. I am yet to see someone prove that reclining is absolutely necessary for comfort.

Either that or us non-recliners are heartless....

Some people need to lie back for comfort.

No, but your reasoning seems to be that "since YOU do not recline, then NO-ONE ELSE should recline" - that can harm others.

People are physically different and what is good/comfortable for one may be poor/uncomfortable for another.

Yes, "Me, me, me, me and me...." alright!

Recline all you like. It is not for me to stop you.

But either way you look at it I am being considerate of others where as the couple that slam their seat back in unison on a SYD-CBR flight during ascent are.... well.... They are indescribable....

I Fully agree with this and, as I have already posted:

I don't ask - but I recline gradually and slowly.

i.e. A bit at a time, about 5 minutes apart.

After about 20 minutes I am generally at max recline.

FWIW, I would not bother on a SYD/CBR segment ...
