Flying without reclining my seat is pure torture to me. I find the default vertical position of the seats deeply uncomfortable. What if all seats had a slightly reclined angle already?
- tutufan 9y agoFlying in a reclined seat is pure torture to me.
- Jach 9y agoFlying is pure torture to me (being tall).
- douche 9y agoTry being tall and wide... A frame that's great for setting picks in a basketball game is less than ideal in a narrow coach seat, especially on the aisle...
- cbanek 9y agoWhat if we grouped the plane into two sections: those who want to recline, and those who do not? If you're a recliner behind a recliner, happy. If you're a non-recliner behind a non-recliner, happy. Split on the exit row, or hopefully at least one row of people who don't care.
- extra88 9y agoNot everyone flies alone and not everyone who flies together has the same preferences for reclining their seat.
- tutufan 9y agoIt's not a terrible idea. Economics requires, though, that the flying experience be made awful enough on average that customers are just barely willing to fly, versus their best alternative.
- Markoff 9y agoi think you would hardly find tecliners if it means someone in front of them will recline too, these are selfish people who want space for their legs plus take space behind them, once their own space would be at risk they would very quickly stop reclining
- fivestar 9y agoI don't understand how you can discern any difference between the upright position and the 1-2" recline position. I think you may be kidding yourself.
- sanswork 9y agoIf you can't notice the difference between a reclined and non-reclined seat you should probably get that checked out.
- xienze 9y agoI agree with the parent. I remember many years ago that the seats could recline a noticeable amount. Now it's like an inch.
- marssaxman 9y agoI can certainly tell whether or not the seat is reclined, but there is no perceptible difference in comfort: both modes are equally uncomfortable. I would guess that the previous poster meant something very similar, rather than hypothesizing some bizarre proprioceptive malfunction which left them unable to sense their body's angle of alignment to the floor, as you seem to have done.
- sanswork 9y agoThat's unfortunate for you and the other poster but given the popularity of reclining I'm going to have to think you're in the minority.
