34 h. ago Welcome on board this aircraft. Please return your seat to the upright position – for ever | Arwa Mahdawi

Air rage episodes are on the rise – many sparked by seat problems. Surely Trump could use his executive overreach to impose an outright ban on recliners?Down with reclining seats in airplanes! Or, more to the point, up with them. Please sit up straight and pay attention while I make this very serious in-flight announcement: the airline industry should prevent all seats in basic economy from reclining until the general public has shown they know how to use them responsibly. And by “use them responsibly” I mean: don’t recline. Or, if you must, do so courteously and not for the entire flight.Now, I understand a blanket ban might not be a popular solution.
