I've never been in a situation where the person head of me who has reclined their seat makes the entertainment system and tray table no longer available to me.

I've never been in a situation where the person head of me who has reclined their seat makes the entertainment system and tray table no longer available to me. The fact is, that person ahead of me paid for the space they've used to recline and it's theirs, not mine, period. If I try to block them from reclining, then I'm exercising my ego over theirs by denying them something which is rightfully theirs, which they paid for. That is wrong and tends to fall into a behavior covered in the DSM.
- rfergie 11y agoIf the entertainment system is mounted in the head of the seat in front then reclining that chair brings it well below my eyeline - I cannot slump low enough in my seat so that I can see it.
- patcheudor 11y agoBut you can put your seat back and now you can see it. That is space that you rightfully are entitled to so use it.
- rfergie 11y agoIf this a tragedy of the commons type scenario? Individual comfort is maximised if you recline, but the comfort of the cabin as a whole is better if only some people recline?
