He kneeded that

This teenager wouldn't stop kicking a passenger's seat after multiple requests, so the man reclined it back and the impact left the kid injured

Obviously, the company has reclining seats so they are allowed to recline.

But it seems common enough that people get annoyed about them. I have had people mouth off to me for reclining during longer flights. I pay no mind but I feel like the real problem is that they squeeze the seats so close together to get the extra few seats on the plane, that it ultimately just cuts room out and makes it uncomfortable for everyone.

I’m 6’4”, so I pay for exit row or premium, however the premium is now what basic economy used to be. So once again reclining literally puts my knees in the back of your seat. I can’t do anything about it. Now you’re pissed because my knee is in your back and I have bruises by the time we deplane.

Same height here and having been a full time and part time mechanic through most of my working life, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to work under cramped dashboards while on my back, propping my lower body up with my lower legs. To experience fitting in some of the positions that I’ve had to, in order to work on vehicles, it makes flying aboard most commercial aircraft a little easier, though it’s not fun being tall.
