There was a discussion on the practicalities of the brace position for tall people a while back.
On my last few trips with EZY up to Glasgow I considered the space available to the seat back and concluded that perhaps in an emergency I might just about do it.
Just been speaking to aged relatives back from Madeira who fly Thompson. Asked them if EZY did it and they said yes, they used them once but wouldn't do so again. The reason, surprisingly, was that neither of them (a 6 footer and a petite woman) thought they could do the brace position owing to the seat pitch. Not the scramble for seats or service level, but the brace position. Surprising what people worry about perhaps but an interesting one.
Perhaps on my next trip one of the CC can sit in my seat and show me
