Heather, how often (if ever) have you had to deal with passengers fighting over a reclined seat, and what's your position on that debate?

The way I see it, the seats were built to recline, that's what they were meant for, and therefore I have every right to take advantage of that nice little feature (I'm a bit of a sloucher, and I find the seat in the upright position a little uncomfortable). I also recognize that the person in front of me has every right to recline their seat. I never recline it under 10,000 ft. when it's not allowed, and I usually put it up during meal [pretzel] service. I'm also happy to only partially recline it if there happens to be a very large/tall person behind me.

However I can't stand these people who think they have this unalienable right to not have a reclined seat in front of them. What do you think?
