    Not that I know of.

    People who fly a lot complain...provided that an alternative doesn't often exist, it's stupid to complain too much...but I do get the annoyance of having one's computer screen destroyed by an aggressive recline. It's not a 1st vs 3rd world (or 2nd world? Chinese, Belorussians, North Koreans, and Cuban's complain about air travel?) problem IMO...more like it's human nature to complain about relatively stupid shit.
    Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

    Thanks for that, Mr. Literal.

    You guys read about this asshat using a Knee Defender? First I've even heard about such a device; I'd be pissed if someone used that on me.

    I also don't understand you long-suffering whiners who leave your seat up. It's fucking uncomfortable as shit. I recline, every flight and at the first chance I get. Suck it.

    Had a guy do it to me on a cross-country flight tonight. He was pretty much the only person on the plane reclining. At 6'3" it makes a difference to me. Fucker.

    So sorry you can't afford first class -- it's the only way to fly! I bet you're okay charging fatties extra, too...

    It's your fault for having your fat face too close to the seatback in front of you. There should be no problem here.

    On a recent flight I put the seatback right into the face of a 14 y/o girl behind me -- on purpose! Why? Because the little bitch was listening to Beyonce on her phone WITHOUT headphones. I don't know what is wrong with Merica today?! But, as soon as I slammed my seatback into her and asked if she had headphones she STFU.

    I get to fly home tonight starting at midnight a day after having two neural blocks done between l5 and s1 and that is going to suck ass. Sitting is the worst (though standing and lying down are bad) and we'll have 9-10 hours flying time and a 3 hour layover. I'm sure by the time I get home I'll wish I could have two more injections. Oh yeah, and no first class because I can't got mo' money.

    Maybe you can sweet talk your way into an emergency exit row. Way more room and the seats in front of them don't recline. Just a thought.

    Part of the deal is you have to be capable of removing the door in an emergency.

    i've never in my life bitched about flying in the cheap seats. i hate flying in its entirety. cramped spaces are the least of my concerns. glad to see i brought out the bitterness though.

    not a problem. it's not that i can't do anything normal if i have to, it's that i should try to avoid it if possible. in an emergency there's nobody i'd rather have sitting in front of those doors than myself. i'm sure the adrenaline will kick in and i won't feel a thing. although my general feeling is that if i'm in the position of having to open the door, things are fucked up a lot worse than my back.

    I like takeoff and landing and turbulence because it's when you actually feel like you're flying.
    No longer stuck.
