Common usage, in this particular context, is recline. Particularly because decline means something entirely different. And the OP has since said that she meant to say recline.

Nice try.

For God's sake, what does it matter? We all knew what you meant from the beginning, OP, don't take the bait.

Maybe if he hadn't made such a snarky and rude response no one would of said anything.

The seats recline. It is that simple. Everyone on the flight has the option to recline if they so choose. If you don't want to be bothered by the person in front of you reclining their seat, fly a different airline and pay for first class/business class.

Deregulation of airlines increased competition and made flying more affordable for the masses.

Another wacko person. The seat hardly recline anymore on domestic flights. Pretty sure it is less than an inch.

I just want to lock myself in my house, way too many wacko people in the world that are wandering around in public.

It's closer to 4 inches. Which can mean the difference between a working laptop and one with an obliterated screen.

I meant " reclined".

If only I could choke you...

Well it's OP's thread and she didn't make a snarky remark, so how about we just give her the thread back?

Two idiots caused a flight to be delayed and over 100 passengers to be inconvenienced. People should not recline and be considerate about those behind them. Too many "weekend fliers" and "junior fliers" in the air these days.
