I'm a flight attendant. You need to get over your reclining seat rage

Last night on a flight from London to New York, a passenger rang his call light, and when a flight attendant walked over, he pointed to the reclined seat in front of him. The flight attendant informed him that his seat was also in the reclined position and suggested he could move to the available aisle seat. The passenger declined because he wanted to sit by the window. Another day, another flight: an older woman threatened to punch a teenage girl in the face for reclining her seat. Flight attendants often receive complaints about reclined seats. The issue at the heart of the problem is that airlines are overcrowding seats in tight spaces. Although airlines remove amenities to cut costs, passengers have the right to recline their seats. Non-reclining seats are not uncommon, and some airlines are even removing the recline option entirely. Basic reclining etiquette and open communication between passengers can help alleviate conflicts. Ultimately, passengers can purchase additional space if they desire more legroom.
