Is it Wrong to Recline Your Seat on a Plane?

Not a big deal as long as mutual respect is the game of the day.

What good will that do? I'm going to recline my seat regardless of their feelings on the matter, so why bother asking? I imagine that if I asked, they said 'no' and I did it anyway, they'd get even more upset than if I simply did it without asking.

If I had said no and you did anyway there's zero chance of you having a restful flight.

Most people would have a good reason for saying no - very young children don't get a seat usually and they have to be strapped in with their parent so if you reclined onto my child there'll be hell to pay.

Unfortunately they couldn't pack as many seats and paying customers in if they did that.

I'm not sure why people keep pretending that reclining your seat significantly affects the amount of room available to the person behind you. Those things lean back about 3 inches.

it's only wrong for the person in front of me to recline their seat... even if they are upright, my knees are touching the back of the chair in front of me... when they recline, their seat becomes a medieval torture device to me.

You're obviously not an owner of airline stock. ;)
 
There ought to be a law: Airline CEOs are required to fly the lowest class in their own airline... always.
 
I am the first to recline my seat and don't care what the person sitting behind me thinks. Not my problem.
