Okay....as a flight attendant, I could not agree more with eliminating the recline button on coach seats. I, for one, do not think it is my position to tell someone to put their seat in an upright position AKA use some common sense, you are in this persons lap, sit up! However, unfortunately, we are probably a small group. As with so many things, as we have seen in recent times (meals, magazines), if you take away what so many complain about (though those amenities have been removed because of cost), they will just complain about the fact that they no longer have it. It's a double edged sword. As so many of you have said, use common sense! You may have paid for the seat, but so did the person behind you! Just to be fair, I am 6' and have sat in those coach seats just as much as the next guy, including BA(tight fit!), I never recline, EVER!
