Where is this Fierce Legal Battle at the Heart of the Fight Over Reclining Airline Seats, actually happening? The sited article has no links for any pending litigation or any earlier cases with a verdict. And the incident sited seems to be from 2014.
So, we are so entitled to not tolerate others in a closed space for a few hours. We are rotting and devolving as a species.
My proposed solution: Every one that boards a flight as a passenger buys two of these knee defenders. Now how you use it depends on the following scenarios.
1. - You want to block the passenger in front of you from reclining. This means you are willing to stop someone from reclining their seat as it inconveniences you. Which means you realize that passenger behind you is also inconvenienced by you. So now you being the gentleman a**hole that you are, put the other knee defender you have on your own seat. Your promise that you wont recline is not enough. (Also just be prepared to be thrown out of the light and put on no-fly list)
2. - In this scenario, passenger behind you has put a knee defender on your seat. Obviously you will call the flight attendant to raise the issue. You propose this to the passenger behind you, assuming he is a not a gentlemen a**hole from scenario 1, but just a regular a**hole. You tell the assistant that it is only fair that if this passenger is allowed to put a knee defender in your seat, that you shall also be allowed to put a knee defender on his/her seat. Now you both are happy (or miserable), and the flight continues. Else, you can raise this issue as an unfair treatment and ask the flight attendant to remove the knee defender placed on your seat. If the flight attendant refuses to help, record the whole incident and file a lawsuit once you land.
