People need to lighten up. I want to recline my seat, especially in a long flight, and I have no problem with anyone else on the plane that wants to as well.

The seats were meant to recline. If this is going to continue to be a problem, airlines will begin replacing seats with the type that don't recline. How many people would prefer that on a six hour flight?
I agree.............Lighten up.

The reason things are so tight is because everyone is demanding lower fares. Flight is not about comfort..........it's about speed.

The three or four of five inches that a reclined seat takes in front of you is not your entitled space.

Like another poster stated, a number of airlines do not let the seats recline. Not the most comfortable, but I like the cost.
