The one incident was enough to make me switch from United to USAir when I started picking up more international travel. I am very curious to read about other's experiences with the backward facing seats and what they thought of them.
When reading the first post in this thread, my immediate thought was how motion sick that would make me. As I've gotten older (even though I'm only 28 now) I've noticed I am more and more sensitive to motion sickness. When taking off and landing, I have to close my eyes and focus on my breathing. I probably look like I'm terrified of flying to others around me, but I'm just trying not to vomit
