To be clear: I don’t recline when there’s someone behind me
However
As someone who gets lower back pains from sitting in an uncomfortable position for long, the recline function makes a huuuuuge impact. Recently rode a bus with no recline (and nobody behind me) and by the end of the 1.5 hour ride, I felt horrible.
Why not make sure that both are comfortable? The issue is not the reclining seat. The issue is the space in between the seats. So, the issue is the airlines, not the passengers.
You sound like middle management, you come up with a simple sounding idea with zero idea on how to do it, only this simple idea is impossible without huge, HUGE changes to airplane design and vast increases in ticket cost.
What the fuck are you on? This is not an Airbus engineering war room.
The title of the post is “What’s an idea you have that should be an actual thing?” not “What’s an idea you have that should be an actual thing and it must realistically be made possible”?
Nope, the recline function make almost zero comfort change for the occupant, but for the person behind it has huge impact.

Sure, but increasing the seat size will increase ticket cost.
Well, that’s a different argument. The original argument was “permanent seat reclining” and you replied:
You didn’t mention cost until now.
But if you’re also reclined doesn’t that offset it?
Sure, but why not recline all seats permanetly?
That’s exactly what I started off with
Because then they wouldn’t be able to tell you to return your seat to the upright position for landing.
They do that for safety
It’s just recliner theater, I tell ya!
Comfort for both the reclinee and the person behind don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

Lighten up.
Wow, here I am making a joke, and are just calling for me to lighten up?
Calm down.
Oh. Hehe.
Sorry.
It’s hard to read people’s intentions with just text sometimes.
It happens, I hoped it would be clear enough when I brought up middle management, but I guess I missread the situation.
