HAHAHA YES!!!! You're awesome

Nice one. Looks like you need to have a cooperative seatmate, hmm?

Now you can't put your table down either.

yeah i reckon they should get rid of the buttons altogether.

i winds me up so bad when arrogant folks just lean on back with no regard for others

I know. at least lean back slowly... sheesh. I'm heading to hawaii to shoot a wedding on monday... maybe I'll try this... haha

The problem is - getting those zip ties through security. How do you explain away having zip ties to the guy or girl who makes 8 dollars an hour trying to weed out Mr. or Ms. Terrorist :)

I'm confused. So none of you folks recline your seats on flights? Or do you just get pissed when other people do it? Hate to post the unpopular opinion but, given how much I pay for a flight these days, I'm gonna recline my freakin' seat. I'll do it slowly and am open to compromise if the one behind me is particularly large, and I will straighten it come chow time. Frankly, if I found that you zip tied my seat, I'd have the "air hostess" ask you to remove it, at which point I would proceed to be a total dick to you for the duration of the flight. Just sayin. I prefer polite communication over zip ties.

how can u deny 'em the half an inch comfort?
heartless,)

i say everybody recline and goto sleep. :)

the problem isn't the seats going back.. the problem lies in that your table is connected to somebody else. it could just as easy be attached to your own chair but the designers are fixed it seems on doing the ergonomically stupid thing.

As a 6'4" dude my knees actually get compressed when the person in front of me completely reclines their seat. A gentle reminder usually does the trick.

“Excuse me, I know it sucks that we’re all stuck in coach, but would you please not recline your seat. My knees are getting crushed.”

Failing that, I’ll start playing the drums on their seat back. They usually get the hint about thirty seconds into Megadeth’s “Symphony of Destruction.”

also a tall mo'fro here and this comes greatly appeciated...fuck those lean backers!
