for me one of the most annoying things about someone reclining is the fact that your tray table now becomes worthless and using a laptop is impossible .


[/ QUOTE ]

Wait...so we can't recline because using a laptop for you is now impossible ?

I mean...really? Not possible. It is not possible to use your laptop. If the tray is on a 2% slope. No longer is it possible to look at a screen and type stuff because the thing keeps sliding down into your lap. Oh, the horror!

It would be worth an ass-beating just to watch you go to jail for trying to pull off some violence in the air.

What are you talking about?

I'd say this and then 5 seconds later I'd take them off for you and give them to the stewardess/steward.









Oh right, it's Blarg...

You were the one doing the tough-guy dialogue; it's a little late to disown it.

Actually yes, it makes it physically impossible. But you won't hear me complaining on this particular issue because I don't consider myself to have the "right" to use my laptop on the plane, but I do figure I should have the right to be comfortable if I paid the same price as all the reclining hobbits on the plane.

Rather than imposing on the people in front, why don't you 7' tall freaks of nature cough up for a first class seat??

Because $7k is a lot more than $1k.

[/ QUOTE ]

Got it.

Because you can't afford upgrades and you are gargantuan, I must accomodate you.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, I don't give a [censored] if you recline. It's the airline's fault for making the price disparity ridiculous.

I was answering the question of why people don't pay for the upgrade.

And I'll go out on a limb that pretty much nobody on this forum could drop $6k a week and not be busto in a fairly short period of time. I'll go out on limb and guess that very very few of us even make $6k a week.

dude, wtf are you talking about? have you actually ever been on an airplane or even used a laptop?

if someone in front of you reclines it becomes impossible to rest the laptop on the tray table, unless you are happy with the screen being open to 45 degrees. instead you have to then put the table up, rest the laptop on your stomach, and you still can't open the screen anywhere near as much as you'd like. and god forbid you attempt to type something.

[Yeti]

and btw its annoying, but like jjscot said, i would never claim that someone should not be able recline purely because i want to use my laptop. i just think it makes way more sense for no-one to recline, rather than setting off this domino effect where people feel they have to because their space is being imposed on by the person in front.

[headturner1]

I was flying a red-eye from SFO to DFW and my seat wouldnt recline. Now I wonder if the old bitch behind me was using these, lol.

Why can't tall people or fat people, smelly people, retarded people, wrinkly-skinned old people and any other undesirables just build their own planes, then fly them? This would save everybody else a lot of trouble.

I think I'm about to make Delta rich here.
