I bet that most of you guys already experienced that.

My last experience was in Feb flyng to JFK from ORY on a Delta MD11:enjoin !!

Q: May I travel with my seat upright?
A: No, you must recline it right after take-off (or sooner if the FA isn't
watching)

Q: Before reclining should I check the person behind me?
A: No, you must slam your seat back as hard and fast as possible. Try to knock
over the person behind's coffee, or at lease scrunch up his paper.

Q: When I am fully reclined, will the seat go back any further?
A: Unfortunately, no. No matter how much you push back or fidget, it just won't
go back any more.

Q: Its a daylight flight and I'm not tired - should I still recline?
A: Of course. Its your right!

Q: When my seat's reclined I have to lean forward to eat my meal and it hurts
my back. What should I do?
A: Hang in there - a sore back is far less painful than giving up your right of
recline.

Q: Will I ever become a seasoned flyer?
A: Probably not!

RE: Sounds familiar.

Yes, it can be seriously irritating when other passengers demand their "right" to space!
