Spirit using non-reclining seats

Or you could do what Cathay Pacific have done, and replace the “relcine position” with the “Broken spine position”. Seems to discourage people from putting their seats back, because the upright position is actually far more comfortable.

I think they usually do, I have only once encountered a passenger who refused to pull back his seat so I could have my meal. He said he paid for it and could recline it whenever he wants and utterly refused to listen to the stewardess. :rolleyes:

Although thanks to his idiocy i was shifted to J.

“As for other carriers – if a passengers pay for a seat that reclines, seems entirely reasonable to me that any customer who wants to should use it.”

And they should be made to place them upright during meals services so that passengers may eat in reasonable :rolleyes: comfort!

Spirit, Ryanair (both the lowest common denominators as far as airlines are concerned in their respective regions of operations) – low-cos going for no recline, primarily because the seats are simpler and cheaper, not because of passenger convenience or lack thereof.

I think in economy all seats should be non reclining for short haul, and for long haul only reclining when cabin is shut down for a sleep period

Interesting choice of words there…”pre-reclined”…I wonder who in Spirit’s marketing department came up with that one?:D:rolleyes:
