On a UA flight to Frankfurt, saw a situation where a lady fully reclined immediately after takeoff, such that the guy behind here had no room for his dinner tray. He asked the FA to have the lady bring her seat up during dinner, but the FA did not want to "wake" her. The guy was stuck. I think I would appreciate the LH approach.
