The rights of those who like to recline their seats don't override the rights of those of us to use our tray tables for laptop work or crossword puzzles or to place a plastic cup of soda on. I don't know what planes some of you have flown that recline "only up to 3 inches." When someone reclines their seat ahead of me, it reclines a helluva lot further into my space than that. It prevents me from using my tray table at all, for any of the things that EYE have a right to do in my already very limited space. The argument given by someone who relishes the comfort gained by putting your seats back into our space (that we too can recline ours) is irrelevant for those of us that don't want to recline; we want to have a usable tray table -- Your reclining seat makes that impossible. Reclining airplane seats are rightfully a dinosaur; they were designed back when there was plenty of space between rows.
