It’s a battle of comfort and sales. 

If I’m traveling on a flight over 4 hours, I want to be able to take a nap. There is absolutely no way I can sleep in an upright position. Maybe if I’m in the window seat with my head against the wall but the middle or aisle? There’s no way bc I need to lean somewhere..if I have strangers next to me the only way I can go is back thus reclining. 

However now I’m potentially making the person behind me uncomfortable bc they’ve made the seats so g*damn close. 

Lock the seats? Now I’m uncomfortable.

All this would be avoided if we could get our legroom back. Years ago we definitely had much more legroom and it wasn’t considered a ‘luxury’ to pay for the emergency exit seats.

And I’ve noticed the tray tables have gotten smaller and smaller as well. Can’t even lean over it like a desk to take a nap. Feels like I’m going to break the darn thing. 

The entire sardine tin can model is ridiculous to me and has made me despise flying.

I recently did the tray table nap anyways and the person reclined essentially putting me in a headlock.
