A reclined seat will restrict the ability of people seated in the row behind you to leave their own seat. Additionally, under certain cirumstances, your seatbelt may not be as effective on a reclined seatback, and may even cause injury.

I'm sure that Cabin Crew deeply regret the significant personal imposition and inconvenience that this request places on passengers when landing, who may already have experienced similarly outrageous demands from the jumped-up waiters and waitresses that airlines seem to employ as Cabin Crew these days....

Thanks! I am now more the wiser.

I hear Duck Diving under the seat belt isn't fun

I`ll add, paxs behind the reclined seat may have difficult bracing, plus possible whiplash/back problems to the paxs sat in a reclined seat.

But here is a BIG secret, us cabin crew have these conferences every year and we discuss and make up new rules (just of fun) on how we can make paxs life hell. The seat up right for t/o and landing goes back to 1981, we love that one, it gets you every time. Its the power!
