LOL I think I'll drop this now - it's heading south

I’m a nervous wreck going to the airport and until I get in my seat. Then I’m totally calm and not much bothers me. I figure I’ve done my part and anything that happens from that point is out of my hands.

Though I do not like it when the person in front of me totally reclines their seat. I think the seats shouldn’t recline at all.

I remember flying to Germany in the 70’s when smoking was still allowed on planes. OMG. That was horrible.

No hassles..we travel business mostly.

Talking about balancing an aircraft brings to mind the story of when a UPS plane crashed in

People should be courteous enough to ask or alert the person in back that they are going to recline their seat.

Oh. I do agree!

That makes some sense, however I never have, and I don't recall ever being asked.

Interesting. I figured if their seat can go back, they have the right to put it back.

In some situations (e.g., if you're a large person, or it's mealtime), you could ask them not to.

One flight a guy sat next to me who had terrible BO. I mean it was BAD. Another time a guy behind me talked through the entire flight. Loudly. About himself. If I had been his seatmate I would have cheerfully strangled him.
