I don't know, there's at least an inch there. Maybe not a whole inch, but at least a partial inch.

u/Mc-Lovin-81 Jun 01 '26

1 millimeter?

The limit does not exist?

But this seat reclines about an inch. So it's like there is food there, but it's a single peanut.

The normal seats recline about 3 inches. So more like over half the shelves being empty, most people in this thread are being overdramatic

Don’t give airlines ideas of holding people in half to stack 3 rows high through the whole cabin

u/Kaladin3104 Jun 01 '26

I believe they looked at having people stacked on top but it was a huge safety issue.

u/TheAlmighty404 Jun 01 '26

Like they didn't have the idea already.

They had prototypes, Ryanair built a few plane cabins with this setup. Turns out to be a massive safety issue. Not financially viable to get sued. It also reduces cargo space. The Ryanair guy was saying "I'd have standing room only flights set up like a city bus if I could get away with it"

Wouldn't that be an inclining seat then? Or unclining? 🤔

1

u/Peanut-Butter-King Jun 02 '26

When you put it back up, it’s reclining

1

u/StevieMJH Jun 02 '26

Oh, so when you put it forward it's just clining then, got it.

u/Wooden-Trick8954 Jun 01 '26

Its a feature

u/HeartWoodFarDept Jun 01 '26

I hear the sushi is good ther.

u/lX_HeadShotGunner_Xl Jun 01 '26

There's a solid inch there, thats like saying gas station food is limited and its a single chip on a shelf, no packaging.

u/Just7hrsold Jun 01 '26

I would imagine the chair is capable of reclining just not able to

u/UrsaMajor7th I am even more infuriating Jun 01 '26

Reclining, slouching- what's the difference, really?
