:lmao: @ anybody expecting someone to drop several hundred dollars to be courteous to the dooshbag who can't put his seat up.
I've always bought my kids a seat. I care about their safety and I don't want to burden my wife. But I realize that other people have different priorities.
Safety? If the plane goes down, seat or no seat safety is the same. Otherwise if wife or I are holding our kid she is not falling due to turbulence, etc.
Again, my sister is a pilot.. She bought us a Stroller than turns into an FAA approved car seat....

I haven't experienced it but, it's not too uncommon for a plane to suddenly drop or hit extreme turnbulance.

When my kid was an infant we debated it along with my sister and it only took reading the word projectile a few times for me to only go on trips where I could afford another seat...

Really safety isn't the question at all - It is totally unsafe to not be secured in a seat.

Flight attendant opinions

"Parents on a plane are willing to let their child sit on their lap during taxi/takeoff/turbulence/landing because the government allows them to. On the ground, the law requires all occupants to be buckled in. A car travels between 0 and about 70 miles per hour. A plane…up to 650mph! Think about it? Yes, it is your child and you’ll hold on for dear life, but what about when there is a sudden stop on takeoff or landing? Crushing a child could happen. I believe governments are unwilling to force people to buy an extra seat for those under 2, and airlines don’t push for it, because less people will travel if they have to pay for baby…but, how much money is your child’s life worth?”

The seat only reclines like 3 degrees people.
:goodposting: Seriously, what the heck?
Do you guys know what 3 degrees look like? I'm guessing it's more like 25 to 45 degrees......at least.
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: The 3 degrees was a slight exaggeration. But holy #### dude. 45 degrees? You are out of your mind.
The actual number is about 15 degrees, but it varies based on the airline and seat location.

You don't believe my sister is a pilot :confused: umm, ok.
I think it's more to do with the fact that you've brought it up 4 times and it really has no relevance to the conversation.

I mentioned it 2x and I do think an opinion of a pilot on such a matter is relevant.That said, I do apologize if I mentioned it too often.Sorry.

It's a hell of a lot closer to 45 than 3. I've had people recline and when I put a magazine or book up to read it's too close to comfortably read.

Maybe I find sitting in an unreclined airline seat extremely uncomfortable, to the point of causing me back pain?It's my position that reclining my seat is my God-given, unalienable right, and any device preventing me from doing so is intruding on my rights.I will routinely, and unapologetically, recline my seat to the furthest extent as soon as possible, and won't move it back to the upright position until the stewardess instructs me to. If that's a problem for someone sitting behind me, and they were to ask politely that I not do as such, I will comply with of courtesy and respect. However, any attempt to prevent me form reclining without prior consent will be met with complaints to the stewardesses, dirty looks, and any other assorted passive-aggressive behaviors I can come up with.If it's that big of a deal to you long-legged-mack-daddies, I'd suggest you sit only in exit rows or in the front row where there are no seats in front of you.
When you do that, I am going to stick my knee up your ###, so that your back will be in even more pain from having invaded my space.Not many things more rude than a person who reclines the seat with no regard to the people around them.
Amen. ####ers.
I had a "discussion" with a lady in front of me last month on a flight from Tucson. Bout 45 seconds into the flight her seat comes slamming back into my knees.I said nothing but decided to spend the next 10 minutes doing calf raises using her body weight for resistance. She asked me to stop after several dirty looks and complaints to her neighbor - I explained i had to keep moving to prevent her seat from cutting off my circulation. She raised her seat about 5 minutes later after i continued with a little more enthusiasm. ;)
