I think this is great! I fly Spirit often, and their seats are very close together. There is often a passenger in front of me abusing the opportunity to recline a little bit and practically laying on my lap.

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. I paid for a reclining seat, and I'm damn well going to use it!

Yeah! And on the same note, I just bought a pair of boxing gloves. I should be able to use them to punch whoever I want right in the face! I mean, the gloves were made for face-punching, ergo I'm totally in the right to punch whoever I want square in the nose whenever I want! Right??

Joe, "practically laying on your lap"? cmon, most of these airline seats only recline 3 or so inches.

The way it will be now is if one falls asleep they will topple forward out of their seat.
