Kavey,
I do indeed plan on sending the long version of my above post to the fax # that Julian kindly provided.

As I stated above, I do think this should be a matter for the airlines to sort out rather than expecting tired, hungry and cranky smushed up paying people to work out - it's not going to happen.
Re: just look at the strong emotions on both sides from above from fairly resonable people makes one realize that a more viable solution is needed.

Definitely... we can't be expected to sort it out on the flights - unfortunately not all travellers are courteous and compromising.

All we can do is apply pressure to airlines and lobby for change.

I would imagine that this is just what has prompted Emirates Air to make the change!

I’d happily fly with an airline with non-reclinable seats if that would lower the price. My only problem with airlines, apart from the ticket prices (and some disastrous effects on global climate), is that my food is often given to someone else while I’m asleep. I’ll have to wear a sign that says “poke me”.

oops....just noticed my typo...

the last line of my above post should be "....so the person behind you can EAT."
