Yeah - obviously I was talking about autistic people above...Many autistic people would not relish social interaction, or have the most basic of conversational skills, but I certainly wouldn't classify them as 'morons'.
You mean unable to carry on the most basic of conversations with another human being? Sorry - I didn't realise that we were catering for complete morons here.
I wouldn't classify all austistic people as morons. Strange that you were only referring to them. Why do you think that all autistic people are morons?Yeah - obviously I was talking about autistic people above.

So you would consider some to be? Far be it for me to fight to Clubman's battles but why is he being accused of calling austisic people morons when he said nothing of the sort??

This is the solution. We should bring it to world government and have it implemented immediately.In general, I don't think it should be left up to paying customers to have to confront each other over this issue. There should be a policy on short flights that seats must be kept upright, and sufficient space on long haul crafts to allow for seats to be reclined.

I think the European Court of Human Rights are due to make a ruling on the whole issue in the next few weeks so we should probably hang on till then.

What might be more useful to us long suffering passengers but certainly not welcome to the airlines would be an increase in the minimum seat pitch and seat width. For short-haul the minimum distance is a pretty miserly 26 inches I believe in the UK (I don't know what it is here). It is just too little, irrespective of whether someone reclines or not. I don't think that there is an EU-wide norm for this, I think it is set by individual regulatory bodies but an extra few inches would certainly be a blessing for anyone who automatically aims for the emergency exits on a RyanAir flight because they know they get a tiny bit more room. Also bulkhead seats on long distance flights should explicitly in the regulations have additional room as it is patently unfair when they cannot recline.Eh, I said a 'policy' , as in something Aer Lingus should introduce and implement themselves, not 'a European Directive to be transposed into national legislation' so not sure where the sarcasm is coming from.
I would disagree on whether or not reclining should be available on short-haul, it is just manners that need mending not seats. Generally if I want to recline (short or long-haul), I will check behind, if the person behind is asleep or lying back I will recline, otherwise I won't.

Your resolve to sleep? Kinda hard to sleep though when someone keeps jabbing you in the back with their knees!... if I need sleep then I'm going to do what I can to get it. If someone is rude enough to stick their knees in my back it just reinforces my resolve.

Er - the emoticon was a clue but since you seem to still be a bit lost try here.I wouldn't classify all austistic people as morons. Strange that you were only referring to them. Why do you think that all autistic people are morons?
As well as many autistic people, many introverted people would also not want to verbally confront 'seat recliners'. I wouldn't say that all introverted people were morons either.
In fact, I would suggest that morons only make up quite a small percentage of people unwilling to verbally confront 'seat recliners'.
Er - I didn't...Hee Hee. Clubman, do you ever PM yourself telling yourself that you broke 'posting guidelines' ? Can I call people 'morons' now ?
