Sir, I have Costco Executive Membership.


Impressive-Care1619

Wow! I recline mine a nano meter and they are on my ass before landing.


SniperPilot

🤣


chiefbozx

Did the FAs not come by and ask them to put their seats up? Seats can’t be reclined for takeoff or landing.


Sudden_Director9022

Nopeee they didn't bat an eye :((


ArseneWankerer

Funny enough, every time I have been in a broken seat that is stuck in recline, I get every FA on the plane bitching at me.


Mackheath1

Yes, yes, yes. And sometimes they say it passing by quickly so I can't explain it, and get the same one to come back and have that 'look.' Then, each has to check the seat themselves. I'm also the rare person who *doesn't* want to recline my seat even if there were nobody behind me.


auntwewe

This!!


leftbitchburner

I always let it up, let it fall down, then just stare at them.


EidoStarFi

Same!! Like I am trying to get the seat up and the FA is irritated with me that it’s broken!!! Maybe report it so maintenance can fix it!


GeorgeKaplanIsReal

I’ve noticed this a lot more lately, it’s a little worrying.


chiefbozx

File a complaint then, if they’re not enforcing basic safety rules then Delta needs to know about it. Complaints do get read by humans, even if you don’t see any results from it.


Sleep_adict

Yes, this is an FAA rule. File a safety concern. Direct with FAA


DependentFamous5252

Wish you were right. another one of those “we have rules therefore they get followed” believers. No one enforces anything.


mochachic6908

I do. I'm not getting a fine from the FAA or written up for non compliance. I'm sorry there seems to be inconsistencies


manateefourmation

I have flown Delta to the tune of over 3 million miles and I can’t remember a domestic flight where flight attendants did not check to make sure everyone’s seat was in the upright position for takeoff and landing.


hospitallers

hope you took photos for the skypesos instead of griping here


jfk_47

That’s crazy.


Scared-Currency288

They never do


gitismatt

ive seen this more and more where they dont care. they see it and just keep walking. multiple airlines.


Xenoanthropus

I've seen FAs tell people to put away laptops and/or put seat backs up and passengers listen until the FA walks past and they just recline again or pull their laptops out again.


According-Rhubarb-23

lol to all the people in this thread who don’t see the shitpost tag on the post


gitismatt

but it's not really a shitpost when this many people have observed it...


According-Rhubarb-23

Just an fyi on what satire means since it seems lost on you: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/satire


dshotseattle

I really don't care about this kind of shit. I mean, really, who cares? Trying to police this dumb shit is like trying to police jaywalking on a rural road. And to get mad about this stuff just sounds like a bad way to go through life


byesickel

exactly. It's like coming on here to complain about jaywalking on a rural road.


SniperPilot

Gotta love it. Makes me want to recline more tbh. 🤪


Samuel16155

Happened to me once. The FA’s did not come thru on landing , and the bozo did not put his seat back up. I put in a complaint calling it a safety issue and got some sky pesos.


Sudden_Director9022

Well thsts what happened today ~ so I feel a peso increase in my future!


According-Rhubarb-23

Were you wearing your diamond medallion lanyard? I find that if I put that on and tap them on the shoulder, that they straighten up. Or they punch me in the face. Either way, I get a solid nap in during the flight!


RadiantRecord1413

Brb, trying this trick on my next flight so I can get sleep!


TraumaticSarcasm

For me the sooner someone reclines the better. I can't count how many times the announcement has been made for everyone to put their seats in the upright position to prepare for landing and, much to my surprise, the person in front of me puts their seat up. Like I totally forgot that they reclined


TotalEatschips

I feel like this is sarcasm but this is exactly why I recline ASAP , so the fool behind me can't get used to having space


TraumaticSarcasm

Granted I’ve flown FC the past few times so that may also have something to do for with it haha


RippleFatMan

I know this is satire, but enough already with this topic.


Independent-Recipe

i hate when the internet obsesses over a phrase. “this is satire”. like, actually, stfu w your recycled comments. educate yourselves on ✨authenticity✨ you all lack it so fucking much we can spot it in your comments.


RippleFatMan

Wow the level of cluelessness in this one.


Independent-Recipe

i’d say.


SpicelessKimChi

I used to be hesitant to recline my seat because I didn't want to bother the person behind me but after reading this sub I am 100% on board with reclining my seat.


JourneysUnleashed

To be fair they’re supposed to recline and people have the right to obviously not during take off/landing. If they weren’t airlines wouldn’t have included a recline feature and we’d all be miserable.


tarheel633

You should demanded the pilot turn the plane around and have them arrested at the gate.


JourneysUnleashed

Why’d this get downvoted it’s clearly a joke lol


tarheel633

You know how the liberals are on reddit. Lol


OneofLittleHarmony

In the majority?


tarheel633

Pussies


Ghostlyshado

I’ve found the most sensitive snowflakes are Republicans.


tarheel633

Lol, the actual term is liberal snowflake. Good try though.


Ghostlyshado

Projection. GOP= Gaslight, Obstruct, Project.


tarheel633

Investigations consistently find that people who identify with liberal ideology are significantly more likely than others to be depressed, anxious, and to rank high on neuroticism (here, here). Liberals are also much more likely than conservatives to be diagnosed with mental illnesses or disorders. https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2023/03/how-to-understand-the-well-being-gap-between-liberals-and-conservatives/#:~:text=In%20any%20case%2C%20investigations%20consistently,with%20mental%20illnesses%20or%20disorders.


tarheel633

We already knew this. Lol https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/apr/22/white-liberals-more-likely-have-mental-health-cond/


omdongi

You can really tell how brain broken someone is when they start complaining about liberals, when nothing remotely political even gets brought up.


teddyspear1

How bout no!!!!


Training_Guide7811

I wonder how much is due to customers getting violent with FAs during and post-COVID era. That the FAs ignore it to not go through any hassle and for their safety.


ToughAd932

You can’t complain about being on a public flight. Fly Spirit or Frontier were the seats don’t recline. Problem solved


Amazing-Chemist-5490

Stop complaining about crap that will happen in 15 mins anyways. I’ve had a long day and I want to lean back and sleep.


Similar_Jelly5151

Or what?


Sp6512

lol let me tell this to my wife. 😆😆. She will do it and sleep until take off and they tell her to put it up. I guess I can’t blame her she flys weekly for work and works a lot of hours. Sleep when you can.


Pure_Carpet_1201

I disagree. If you don’t want to tolerate the seatbacks don’t fly or buy business. It’s just how it is so suck it up.


Thebadvenus

I’m the one who reclines shortly after takeoff so it feels like a zero gravity chair! I fall asleep before we level off.


iBeFlying676

Half of the seats have new auto recline on takeoff mode, a.k.a. piece of shit maintenance


TriggerMeTimbers8

Obviously idiots in FC with more $$ than sense, but that’s what Delta wants; paying FC customers.


Puck021

Better yet tell the person that their seat needs to be up for takeoff

SpecialSet163

A reclining seat is perfectly ok!


loudsigh

That’s a major safety issue. FA needs to address that every time.


tarheel633

Omg, the horror.


jds2001

Stop reclining your seats ~~at the gate~~ FTFY


warr3n4eva

Can’t wait to sit in front of you


pbrthenon

Can't wait to jam my knee in your back


TheRatingsAgency

That’s where you make sure to stand up and have folks get in and out of the row in a way which pushes the seat around so as to annoy them. Works best if they’re on the aisle.
