I never recline in Y. Others may do so, since the option is there, so I just consider the following--
1) earn more dough
2) where possible, fly airlines with seats that don't recline (e.g. Frontier, Ryanair)
3) hope that if someone does recline, that it stays that way (e.g. it's a tease to put it back during meal service)
4) find IFE that ignores the imminent seat recline
5) would be nice if carriers had sections where seats don't recline... Economy +-?
