Yes, I'm sure there will a recline function, my question is which type does this seat offer? The seats on AF PE that I referenced are a hard shell seat, and they "recline" works by slidiing the seat cushion forward and then the back cushion slouching down, while the hard shell of the seat remains fixed. As Pip Carlson mentions, the upside of this style is that the recline does not interfere with the space of the pax behind you at all. The downside that is common among nearly all trip reports of this product is that the recline is quite uncomfortable and not good for sleeping.
