When the person in front of you reclines, they are inclining into their space. When they aren't reclined, you might "borrow" (take without permission) that space for your own use, but that doesn't make it your space; it still remains completely theirs. That's the way the interior is designed/layout.
How do you figure that? Having somebody's seatback in my lap is invading my space. As long as airlines cram why too many people in too small a space, no seats should recline.
Don't expect me to not recline my seat simply because you feel that it is your space. It is not.&
I've never fully understood the appeal of a couple inches of barely perceptible recline or the need to be completely uncompromising or even borderline militant about always using every last millimeter of it regardless of the circumstances.
In theory it should be easy to plan your pitch, but in reality there are often numerous ever so slightly different floor plans that can have a huge impact on your specific seat's comfort level. Identifying your future flight's exact floor plan can be surprisingly difficult to confirm ahead of time. Not to mention that airlines often swap hardware with little or no notice and few if any airlines allow you to modify your routing as a result of a unilateral equipment change.
I typically pay hundreds of dollars more per trip just so I can get some decent legroom. Occasionally I'm unable to book my desired aircraft or buy up to a better seat because of a sold out flight or last minute adjustment or other complication. Unfortunately in those situations I often find myself stuck trying to explain basic geometry to a Napoleonic passenger hellbent on taking their travel frustrations out on my poor knees.
Well I can't explain it for all, but in my case I have a birth defect in my backbone which makes it rather painful to sit straight. Any even little amount of recline relieves the pain somewhat. That is the reason that (a) I try to get seat in the Y+ section, (b) I spend considerable amount of money to fly Business Class or Business First either through original ticket purchase or upgrade on long international flights © try to use every bit of recline that I can get wherever. You have long leg problems. I have bad back problems. looks like we use about the same techniques to try to deal with them. Our interests appear to clash when I am in a seat just ahead of you in a non Y+ section of the cabin. Usually I would always work towards a reasonable compromise, but not because someone claims that they have a right to a space that the airline says is mine, but because I am a nice guy
In fact, I have no problem with a jillion pets on an Amtrak train!
If the seats recline then I consider it my space. My position is if it were not they would not recline. I need some recline of my seat or my back gets an ache. Except on Southwest. For some reason their seats in the not reclined position are perfect for me.The problem is that it is the design of the seat that defines whose space is where, and not what an individual feels like. If you have a problem with the seat reclining, don't fly on that airline or take it up with the airline.
Hahaha.True, this. However the passenger who pees or poops under the seat of a train is quite rare indeed!Ive been on lots of trains. I know a lot of dogs that would be more behaved than a lot of passengers Ive been around
I'm allergic to perfume. Can we create a separate car for those passengers too?
A kennel on a ferry is a far cry from the baggage car of a train.
Via Rail Canada allows pets on the Canadian, and that is how they do it.
Baggage cars have no AC and the ventilation is minimal, so it can get pretty hot in the summer. In the winter there is floor heat to 50 degrees on the new ones. I doubt the pets and pet owners would want to be in those care. Also it would not be safe for pet owners to be in those cars to feed or water pets.
I'm allergic to polyester. By inhalation. Can we create a separate car where nobody is allowed to wear polyester too?
