| It Isn't That Easy to Surf in Coach If I'm not lucky enough to get bumped up to first class, it is pretty hard to work on a notebook in coach and you are always afraid that the idiot in the row in front of you is going to recline.
I had one flight where I simply asked the guy in front of me (and we hadn't had any cross words or body language at that point) whether he would give me fair warning when he reclined so that I could reposition or close my notebook. You'd think I asked for permission to sleep with us wife given his reaction. |

Banks, OR | He has every right to recline his seat, that's why they are made to recline. If you make the decision to put your laptop in his airspace when he decides not to use it, then it's up to you to monitor the situation and remove the laptop when you see that he's now going to use it. |

I didn't ask him not to recline, I asked him to raise his hand or say something and I would take down my machine. |

I absolutely agree. I almost had my Dell XPS screen ripped off because of the lip that tray table sits in. The guy in front of my FLUNG his seat back and my screen was right inside the lip. If I had been .5 seconds slower at grabbing my laptop as fast as I could my screen would have been ripped off the hinges. |

Cortland, NY | Ever notice its the 400 pound people that do that with no warning? My boss is a big guy and I sit behind him - he says if a fat angry jerk has to sit in front and bug me it may as well be him! |
