A very sensible thing to do especially for those with long legs.
Ryanair have being doing this for years!

I've long wanted to revive the death penalty for whoever designs airline seats. Being fairly tall, whenever the seat in front comes flying back, the metal fitting hits my kneecap dead-centre. If the person in front doesn't have the decency to at least control their rate of recline they receive a hearty thump to their headrest as I extract what remains of my legs from the back of their seat.
Even so, I'd prefer not to have to pre-reclined seats myself as I sleep better with my head down on my chin. That said these seats do look rather roomy in the leg room area and hats off to Spirit - more airlines should realise that the human race is actually growing rather than shrinking.
I'm a big fan of the Ryanair approach for short-haul - upright, rigid seats made of wipe-clean materials for fast turnarounds (and healthier knees).
