indeed, my FLL to IAH I just played with the footrest positions and made it go higher and lower, for 40% of the flight. locked it in plac,e unlocked it, someone probably thought it was my first time to see it.

Also about tired, this PARTICULAR plane was having some tiredness in the fabrics, some where threadbare and some cushions totally non existent, I was not fully clear on the extend of 'tired'
The back cushion on some seats had a 3-6" gap from the lumbar area to the headrest, while others were looking alright.

The key on the 752 is to get Row 1 window, with no one sitting behind you. You can then play with the manual-adjust levers to make the legrest come up extra-high, and to create very deep recline. Even if there's someone behind you, you can still do the legrest thing, and there's no one in front of you that can recline down onto it.

oh I had that issue, person reclined into my long shoes, with the footrest up high, so that was the factor that starting my playing around with it, also extending the length bar at the end, my legs were too long for it to be comfortable when out :(

We were waiting for someone to punch the guy in the face becuase that is what he wants I think. The group just wants attention. :rolleyes:

I find the cognitive dissonance somewhat baffling.

I had friends who really thought Bush was Hitler and that he ordered 9/11 and that he was a bumbling idiot. The cognitive dissonance was just as baffling.

This is a broader issue, the use of blanket terms to describe something. Socialism is much more than government control but the different news stations make it out to be so much simpler.

The idea that the Socialist movements in the nineteenth century were in direct response to the laissez faire attitude of liberal capitalism does hint at some things the U.S. government has done since 1936.

Where are the manual levers, in the tray table slot?
