I've flown enough that anyone who is in front of me sitting has the right to recline.. and I'm 6'5".. to help compensate, I would recline my own seat..

I don't mind the seat in front reclined.. even if I do my work.. that is just something all flyers should accept as the normal course way of flying.. and all flyers have the equal right to recline or not..
