Because I have to fly different places that are too far to drive reasonably. BTW do you wear your lap belt on a plane? That’s about the most useless thing there is. 99% of the time they will no save you if there is any trouble yet everyone pretends they help.
Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. When I lean my seat back just a little and the little flight attendant comes by and tells me to put it up I do, but I also know she has to go sit in that little jump seat and strap in so when she leaves I lean it right back to where it was.
No, I'm a 6ft man that wants his seat reclined just a bit. Nothing wrong with that as I'm not inconsiderate of the folks behind me and the plane still takes off and lands regardless of the position of my seat. Remember when they used to make you turn your phone off for take off and landing? Yeah I never did that either.
I love your moxey! However, something tells me you got your share of paddling in school or at home, or both! I have respect for anyone who stands up for what they believe in, as long as they can do it in a respectful manner, which appears to be your style!
Oh, I've seen him in action. He'll buy something for 99 cents, give the cashier a dollar and just walk the hell away! He DGAF!
