Reclining seats on a packed plane should be removed. All budget low space flight tickets should have no reclining.

I think the reclining feature is a test for humanity.

What are you? A recliner or a non recliner? Do you spite revenge, such as needing the pisser heaps and using and knocking that seat to get up into the aisle with an apology 5 times in a 1 hr flight? Turn the air con and aim it on the top of their head? Or do you just put up with it?

Not really a recliner ... maybe if there's nobody behind me ... much prefer an aisle seat and am not too fussed about toilet goers, just don't make it every 15 minutes. I do though like the headrests and how the fold in. I can drop off in an instant, so I turn these in an let the slumber begin.

You must be a good campaigner then. Because only shit campaigners recline as their god given right when there are grown adults behind them

 

[Chadwiko]

Reclining is only acceptable on long-haul flights while the cabin lights are off and it's "sleep time" for most people on the plane.

All other situations? Don't recline.

from 1918:
my great-granddad went over the top at 9am that day. a poem written about him (its has some none PC names for people)
(Written in France By a Sergeant In Capt Brown?s Company)
Tis was the eleventh day of November,
In the year of old eighteen:
When the boys in France,
Were taking a chance
With Jerry across the Rhine.
T?was the boys of old ?B? Company,
?B? Company?s last twenty-one,
Who stood in France that very day
And heard Lieut. Brown say:
?We go over at nine,
There?s a gap in the line,
It?s up to you, so get busy,?
Well, we just stood up and looked at each other
From where had the order come?
That would send up across?t
When our men were all lost,
From shell, gas and exposure.
So our thoughts all turned to Battalion
To Woodward the Gold Leaf Man,
Who sat in a chair
With much of an air
Told what his Batt had done.
There wasn?t a bunch who were gamer,
With Brownie to lead us across?t,
But we knew the guns stopped at eleven
And we hated to pay the cost.
But we spread out in the open
With Brownie at the head,
And every man waited for it to come:
Well ?it? came when we advanced a kilo
A box barrage laid down from the hill.
And every man took to cover
And every man wanted to kill
The Huns who were causing the mischief,
But what in the world could you do:
With scarcely any protection
And Fritzie had the range on you.
There was Platakis, the wop, from Chicago
Who got some gas in his head
And Fulton a first-class private
Who just missed a ton of lead.
When one of the ?big ones? came over
And burst with an awful roar
When he came to he?d got some gas
And this cut us down two more,
But the rest were lucky, I tell you
And every man whispered peace
So we all crawled back to where we started,
?B? Company?s last twenty-one
For the Wop and Fulton were with us,
And we know our ?bit? was done.

Friday arvo, been a week full of "events" ... yesterday was quite dull, was looking forward to an early evening game of futsal, then a drop or 2 of relaxagent and then send my best little mate off for a sleepover around lunchtime tomorrow. Anyway, best little mate is riding his deadly back to school this arvo with his 7 iron and a couple of balls ... loses grip of the 7 iron, it somehow ends up becoming a front wheel spoke, best little mate with subsequent elbow, hip and leg claret flows. So I knock off, go and get him, try to clean the stubbornly independent little f@cker up, get him calm and quiet again ..... sigh. 10 minutes of silence and then "Dad, my tooth just came out"! Phone rings, it's his sleepover mate, "sorry mate, you can't come over, but I can come to yours" ......

Seems to be one possible problem with this


China's first key national R&D project equipment for high-altitude wind energy — the world's largest 5,000-square-meter power-generating kite — successfully completed all scheduled flight tests in Alxa Left Banner, North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, on Wednesday, according to China Media Group (CMG).

The China-made kite, developed under a national program led by China Energy Engineering Corp, achieved full in-air deployment and retraction during testing, marking a solid step toward the engineering application of high-altitude wind power technology in China, CMG reported.
