Reclining Airplane seats...A New Public Safety Issue.
Three times (in the last week) a commercial flight had to be diverted because passengers fought over a reclined seat. This is not a coincidence.
What you are witnessing is capitalism at its finest. These emergency landings should be celebrated. They are a sign the system is working.
The airlines are deliberately cramming more passengers into less planes.
Spreading passengers into additional planes would mean higher costs. But when they cram more passengers, into an existing planes (while simultaneously charging more and more money) well now you have something special.
5 years ago when you got on an airplane they gave you a meal. They gave you leg room. They didn’t nickel and dime you on every bag. This was a terrible business model. Shame on whoever thought it up.
Today the meal is gone. The leg room is gone. And money leaves your wallet at an alarming rate. This is an exceptional business model. It should be applauded.
You pay more and get less...that is the foundation of capitalism.
If the only issue is your knees get black and blue, well that is a small price to pay for others to make more money.
Maybe the passenger behind you will throw a glass of water in your face. It will dry. Stop all your whining. Maybe (when you ease your seat back ) they will jump out of their seat and call you a f*cken a** hole. That happens. Freedom is not free. Deal with it.
Just remember when (on a 7 hour flight) your knees are killing you not to worry. Soon your stomach will be growling (so loud) you will forget about your knee troubles. So sit there…shut up….and if you are nice maybe you will get to your destination without getting arrested.
Enjoy your flight.
