You and Me both Q-L on Middle seats being HECK! I alwasys get stuck between Ms. Figitidy and Mr I'm bigger than you and I will sprawl out and snore.
The Cat's RUle's for reclining are simple: I do it, very slowly and I turn around and watch as I recline so I don't bother the person behind me. When I start hearing the people behind me talk like those foul mouthed kids from "South park" then I know I went too far and I apologize profusely in nice, clean language.
But I need a reclining seat (WHEN I CAN GET A RECLINING SEAT) for my aching back.
Mauld is correct: another advantage of upgrades to business/first: You can recline to your hearts content generally.
You are also right Q-L when you note that don't make seats for NORMAL guys likes us. We need a little room, we are ALLY McBeal (who they design seats for)
SO I wish you Q-L lots of upgrades and happy Reclining!
