Reply #140: it's not really sneaky [View All]

Like I said my knees are pretty much up against the back of their seats anyway. If they try to recline, they would gain a couple of centimeters at absolute most, and in essence lock me into place and I would not be able to move at all....like, seriously, if I had to get up to go to the bathroom I would have to ask them to move their seat back up so I could unlock myself. This is what happened the first time I ever flew. It was really awkward, and one of the reasons I defend.

I don't think you read my original post. Yeah, if someone has a SPINAL CONDITION, I expect them to let me know that there is a problem so that I don't cause them SPINAL DAMAGE. If they don't have a spinal condition, then I expect to not be locked into place. My being able to physically move is more important than a person who has no problems whatsoever with anything on a plane being able to "recline" so they can be even more comfortable. I'm already at a severe disadvantage to them. Especially on the tiny planes I used to have to fly into Harrisburg (small airport) on. If someone has a spinal condition, then they're at a disadvantage to me, and I don't mind accommodating them. I'm not going to assume people, especially young, healthy looking people have problems with them. If that's wrong of me, then I'll accept being wrong. At least I won't be firmly locked into place, not being able to move without asking the reclining person to unrecline so I can adjust when my legs fall asleep or I get a charlie horse.
