I've been on US domestic flights in which the seats were so close together that the person reclining had their face below mine, in my lap. I would prefer to agree with you that if the seat reclines you should be able to use it, but the reality of what the airlines have done to pack in more people makes it physically painful for other passengers when you do. The airlines have done an excellent job turning us all against each other, when this problem is of their making, out of pure greed.

It really doesn't have to be much room, even 2 inches makes a huge different with the way they have designed planes. It's the same nonsense on buses. I commute via bus every day and I'm dumbfounded that while the bus is pretty much never full the bus company doesn't remove 1-2 rows to free up leg room and reclining room for everyone.

Airlines squeezed every drop of efficiency they could post 9-11 ... they did it and no one complained because people wanted to support them (patriotic reasons and general decency). The airlines took it too far with all these charges, cramped seats, etc. They also implemented dynamic pricing and demand management which I think is a great evil as a consumer.
