Well put lcd. As a regular flyer I am still amazed how a lot of SLF think the rules don't apply to them or that they know it all.
On sunday flying back from Orlando I told the two people in front of me that their seats should be in the upright posistion for taxiing and take off. It was made worst by the fact that the third person in the row worked for the airline and didn't say anything to them.
I couldn't care less about their comfort but in the event of an emergency the seat would have impeded my escape.
I suppose being 6' 1" and 240 lbs helps in puting my point across.
