Do you recline your seat or not ?

Absolutly not and I could KILL when the person in front of me does. I instantly become a demon, rattling my tray up and down against their seat back, putting in and taking stuff out of the net magazine holder in front of me on their seat and generally being horrible! Love Jet2's fixed seating on their new planes too. On short haul flights, it should not be allowed.
:P

I can't say it bothers me as long as it is not when the meals are being served.
What really got me mad was a bus  trip in Tunisia and every time the folk behind me moved stood up or changed position they pulled my seat back.  Murder was on my mind that day!!!!!!!!!!!

The guy in front of me did for the whole of the 6 plus hours to and from Egypt.It was that far back I couldnt even read my book. When I asked him to move he said it was a long flight and he needed to relax!!  I nearly cried when I saw him sit down on the way back, so much for your seat your choice. What can you do if they don't move????

Be the biggest nuisance you can be, and they'll not get much relaxation/sleep LOL

I generally don't and as mentioned earlier I think it should be banned at mealtimes - on one flight the way they handed out the meals - in two halves from back and middle forward, meant that the row in front of us got served first, then distribution moved away from us towards the front, while the dolly eventually serving ours began from the back row, also moving forward. Result = man sitting in front of me finished just as we were served and he reclined almost into my face.

I must say though, I'd live with recliners if they could ban adults who fall asleep within moments of take off, leaving their kids to stand using the back of my seat for balance. Or lying down, using it as a foot drum. Oh, and people who pull on headrests as a way to propel themselves forward when they need the toilet. And people who book window seats but need a pi$$ every ten minutes. And airports that herd you onto a bus in the height of summer and once they have crammed it to bursting point ask if the plane is ready, and it isn't. And airport people who tell you, when you get off the bus to board the plane, not to walk under the wing. To be honest, if it's at risk of falling off I'd prefer it to knock me out on the tarmac than fall off at 30,000 feet.

Oh, and crew when you first get on the plane who ask to see my boarding pass then tell me that 28D is down near the back.

I am a non-recliner and get seriously annoyed when reclined upon if the said reclinee has not requested reclining clearance from myself first.

I think the CAA should adopt your rule and make it compulsory Jim :D

I don't and get really annoyed if the muppet in front can't manage to sit up for four hours, there is little enough space as it is, I regard it as ignorance after all I paid for that bit of space. I Normaly find that my knees are pretty much agaist the seat in front and if reclined upon I make sure that they are stuck in the back of the reclinee.
