Knee Defenders
Haven't read much about the use of Knee Defenders recently. Are they widely
used, without objections from airlines? |

Not sure about the others, but I would suspect the same would hold true as NW did tests and found the devices can actually be dangerous, especially if one starts to push back on their seat with a good shove when it doesn't recline. Furthermore, the passenger sitting in the seat in front has the right to recline their seat. Steve |

North West is not the only airline that doesn't allow them. Funny how they
don't have that on their sales website. "Steve" wrote in message news:AeK2c.80798$PR3.1146515@attbi_s03... "Mike O'sullivan" wrote in message ...

They are going to keep their seat upright. I don't use any aids other than a pillow for cushioning but there simply is no space. FFM |

While I don't agree with it, they do in fact have the right to recline their
seats. You have no right to force them not to. "Frank F. Matthews" wrote in message ... Steve wrote: Steve Here we go again! The schmucks do not have the right to crush my knees.

You have no right to force them not to. If Frank is tall, it may not be a choice. On many planes, the seat simply can't move back when a tall person is sitting behind it (unless they have a spare empty seat to spread into). miguel -- Hundreds of travel photos from around the world: http://travel.u.nu/ |

FFM But do you have the right to put your knees into their reclination space ? Do you also have the right to put your knees left or right into the space of the passenger next to you ? Maybe we just need a legally enforced minimum seat pitch (excluding seat back width) that caters for 99.8% of the population - the other 0.2% have to fork out for business class ??? |

I say left side of the plane has all the seats fixed so they can't recline.
Right side of the plane reclines People can reserve either side depending if they want to recline or not. Me, I'll be on the left, thank you. "Miss L. Toe" wrote in message ...
