The passenger should be banned from flying for 12 months. Seriously. I'm actually on the side of not reclining your seat unless the lights are out but if you're such a moron that you are happy to start a fight over it and force a plane to land you should suffer pretty sever consequences. A flying ban for 12 months seems fair and not too extreme (e.g. large fine, prison).
- protonfish 12y agoI think the airlines should just make it clear. They should either disable the seat reclining or explicitly state when you buy the ticket and at the start of the flight that the person in front of you has a right to recline their seat. It should not be necessary. If you bought a ticket for a reclining seat then you should be able to recline your seat. However there seems to be a persistent belief that nobody should be allowed to recline but you. The airlines need to correct this misinformation.
- k-mcgrady 12y ago>> "If you bought a ticket for a reclining seat then you should be able to recline your seat." I disagree. When travelling in such cramped, close quarters with lots of strangers you need to be respectful of other people. If it's day time on a short (3-5 hour) flight and the person behind you is watching a movie on the screen on the back of your seat you shouldn't recline. If you don't think it will bother them, turn around and ask. Besides, you didn't buy a ticket for a reclining seat to begin with - all the seats recline. Maybe the solution is to allocate a certain section of reclining seats and charge for them separately (if demand dictates).
