I'd have smacked him too! http://news.yahoo.com/s/washpost/airplaneannoyanceleadstobrouhahaintheskiesoverdc

I didn't know a 767 can take off with 16,700 gallons of fuel, but can't land with it, I hope they charge the moron! That was an expensive diverted flight, US Air Force was involved too, big $$ wasted but you can't be too careful in these times we're in :frown:

    Tempers can flair in enclosed areas, especially if someone is purposefully being an **** (reclining his chair into someone's lap).

    But, as always, we don't know the whole story.

    Sounds like to me this could have been beter diffused and passengers relocated...the guy behind him could have been a large man and an ****....the seat leaner could have been an **** also....like Ryan said who knows

    I recline the seat as soon as i can on a flight. they don't recline for fun, they recline for the comfort of the fat **** on the seat.

    People in front of me recline, and i'm cool with it. I recline and haven't had anyone bust my balls for it.

    if I reclined and someone complained I wouldnt have much choice. I did a flight with a broken seat that wouldnt recline, worst experience in an airplane I ever had. No way i am doing that again.
