I agree.
They could also just build in a little more permanent recline to the seats but I suppose that may be a pain if you're eating or drinking.

Just pay the few extra bucks to avoid flying in cramped spaces with assholes. I can't believe we sent up two F16 jets and the plane dumped its fuel over two ass wipes fighting. Then you have all the other people stuck on this plane and missing other flights because two D&^K heads wanted to fight. The other passengers should have beat the crap out of them and just kept going with them tied down to their cramped seats.

Damn. I'd heard about this story but didn't know it was over reclining seats. Crazy

On a long trip it's definitely worth paying extra $$, but even on a short flight having the seat in front of you pushed into your knees is annoying.

I find being short solves a lot of these problems! =)

And if you were to act like like you advertise than security could be waiting for you at the gate like the hothead in the CNN article.

There are no few inches in front of me so as soon as I sit and you are told you must wait until takeoff to recline you already lost your phantom inches to my knees.

For your sake I hope you are already seated as I walk by to take my seat...that way your compliance is visually evident.
