Facts to consider. FACTS (means these are NOT debatable).
- Everybody has the same amount of space on the plane, except for the guy who either choose, or was put into the seat that doesn’t recline.
- When you have bad luck, it is not necessarily somebody else’s problem.
- The guy pounded the lady’s seat at least 76 times. (Look at the video and count for yourself, if you do not believe it.)
- She was in her own video, so it is a selfie, and the airline had no right to demand she delete it.
- The average femur (male, 6’ tall) is 48cm (about 19"). The average tibia is 36.45cm (about 14-15"). Seats on airplanes are a minimum of 26" back of the passenger seat to the seat in front. That leaves about 7-8" for one’s ass. Seats on planes are designed to fit the MAJORITY of people on the planet, not the monsters.
- There is at least 16" of space under the seat in front of anybody (except bulkheads), to allow one to stretch out and lower the height of one’s knees.
- Intentionally pounding on the seat in front of you to annoy the person sitting in it can be construed as an assault in a court of law.
- There is nothing in the airline rules that disallows requesting to move to another seat.
- Two hours is NOT a long time to be cramped in a seat.
- Large people take up more space, volume, air and fuel.
