#21 – have you ever asked how much that 1st-class ticket costs? They do indeed pay 2.25 times the fare. Usually much more.

I did inquire once on an overseas flight. When I booked the ticket I could either pay $800 (return) for steerage, or $3,500 for 1st-class.

But 1st-class passengers are either rich enough that they don’t care about the price, or they’re upper-management or executives on business. Or, they’re government officials or politicians, who don’t care because the public pays,.

Everyone knows that it is the airlines that are to blame. They cram the seats in together to the minimum specified by the FAA. As for anyone who would actually do what is suggested in the video I have two statements.
1. There are very few items on the airplane itself that can cut that strap when it is in flight. The terminal maintenance crew at the next destination will not enjoy having to come aboard to cut that strap put in place by some a-hole.
2. Stay tuned to see the next video installment by fi5e titled “How I Deserved the Beatdown I Got At 30,000 Feet By Some Motherfu#% For Doing This Because I’m A Fu*&in Puss”. I am sure that this new video will be posted before his arraignment in federal court and then used by the FAA in part of their new “How Not To Instigate Air Rage” program.

You want to keep people from sitting on a chair? Grab a permanent marker pen and draw a huge penis on the seat. No one will sit on that chait at all.

Yes, heaven forbid someone should be allowed to recline their seats the massive 2″ alloted by the airlines.

That said, I do always check to make sure some schlub hasn’t wedged his laptop screen into the seat back. I don’t want to be responsible for cracking someone’s laptop! (Unless they try to pull this lame ass twist tie stunt… then they deserve it).

Rob says:

I wish the seats were designed to slide forward as they recline so the person who loses leg room is the one reclining. That would solve the problem altogether. I detest the attitude of those who say, “I paid for the seat so I am going to inconvenience you and recline” Sometimes I just put on my headphones, wedge my knee against the seatback and tap my foot to the beat. I’m white so this is often poorly timed thus even more annoying. Once the seat goes back up I stop.

Once a guy in front of me reclined his seat as we waited on the apron for takeoff. The attendant came ’round and asked him politely to raise the seat for takeoff. Soon as we turned onto the active runway he dropped his seat back all the way… I mean ALL the way. Immediately I extended my arm. His button was still pushed so I was able to move the seat forward.. I slammed it so hard I’m pretty sure his head hit the seat in front of him.

Fucker thought he’d lower his seat once he knew the attendants were buckled in for the roll.

I regret not apologizing… to the guy two seats in front.

#31 the damned chair reclines. Is not that people are “making” the chair to recline. The fact that you feel it’s personal makes you sound like such a spoiled brat

Daniel Dacey says:

Hey everybody #8 is the guy in front always reclining his seat.

Apparently we are all suppose to do synchronised seat reclining, so he is happy.
