You have two carriers out of Lewiston. It's a 90 minute drive to Spokane which is served by most if not all major carriers. When I lived in NJ, it was 90+ minutes to PHL, 75 to EWR. I don't see that as a prohibitive travel distance.
By the way, driving to Lewiston is certainly not a hardship. My closest airport is an hour away.
Yes, as I said, two fly out of LEW.
Neither do I. I usually choose to fly out of Spokane.
Your claim was that people flying out of small airports have a choice. I showed they don't. Instead they have to take on the added expense and time of driving to a larger airport. Where, according to you, the tall ones should then take on even more expense to upgrade their seats so others can recline.
Actually they can. It's not the most comfortable way of seating, but it can be done. Have you ever gotten the seat by the exit door where the apparatus comes into your space? You have to sit cockeyed in the seat with your legs kind of sideways. Same idea.
Oh give me a break. You're arguing just to argue, it's pathetic.
Middle of no where = most of the world including the U.S.
Like I said, you could live next to ATL and still have limited choices flying to smaller airports. The choices can be maximized by driving an extra 45 minutes. Some people want to have their cake...
I often have to go to State College, Harrisburg, and Syracuse. Three very expensive airports to get in and out of. Instead I fly into PHL, PIT, EWR, BWI, etc. and drive.

It's called a choice for a reason, and there is one. Those who don't want someone to use the recline button can CHOOSE to buy a seat in an exit row, a bulkhead, comfort plus, business, etc.

It's not a secret, anybody can do so. Sometimes I need to get a 5:30 am flight to make it work, and then I recline my seat to catch some zzz's before the drive. My employer appreciates me saving them money.
I have been on plenty of regional jets, and I promise you, many of them DO NOT have a first class cabin. No matter how hard you try, I'm not taking the word of a freaking know-it-all over my own experience.
Yep...Flown them to Savannah and Memphis. I try to use UA and they DO NOT HAVE IT
So there goes that notion to avoid someone reclining their seat in your face
