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.
Nope, the recline function make almost zero comfort change for the occupant, but for the person behind it has huge impact.
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.
