When you recline your seat (airline), do you warn the person behind u?

When they pack ya' in, no one's happy... pretty soon they're gonna stack you in.
I have always wondered why they did not do this. I would gladly take a stacked fully lay down "seat" over a normal one. Even for daytime flights.

Did the standing seat ever take off?
I wouldn't mind standing next to her for a short flight

If it bothers some people when seats are reclined, airlines should just eliminate reclining seats altogether.
On personal flights my wife and I just made the decision to go biz class from now on. We only go on a few flights per year so it doesn't kill the bank accounts too bad. Essential for overseas redeyes in our book.
On business flights (which I don't do that much anymore), the company will only go economy so I'm stuck. Generally United and their seats only go back about 2" anyway so nobody cares. The first division I worked in when I started with the company in 1988 had a policy of business class for all international flights which was really cool.
On one business flight from SFO to Indianapolis I flew with a manufacturing engineer whose wife worked in coporate travel. She had access to a stack of first class upgrades for American. We traveled in style on that trip.

I have flown some regional ones that did exactly that. It sucked. Thankfully flights were short.

The seat back doesn't move if I'm behind you, it's locked against my knees. That's why I try to fly in the front of the airplane so I don't have to sit behind guys like you. A little courtesy is a nice thing.

IMO if the seats on a plane recline, you should fully expect the person sitting in front of you to recline their seat.

If there is a crotch-dropping kicking my seat then damn right I'm reclining without warning.

By the same token, since your hotel room door is designed to slam shut when allowed to, so I guess you won't mind if your neighbors do that at 3AM, huh?

Don't be that guy.
Same here. I think perspectives are different depending on how vertically challenged a person is
Because of my height, I know the pains of having a seat pressed against my knees.
Just like with everything else in life, you need to be aware of your surroundings. Sense of entitlement shows a lot on planes. "I paid for my seat so I'll do whatever I want!" That's cool, but yeah....
It's not hard to know who is sitting behind you. If I see its a tiny girl, I'll recline. If it's a tall dude, I won't. If it's a long flight, I don't.

You figure those two compare well with each other?
The seats are designed to recline for comfort, its a benefit on a long flight. There's no comfort to be gained from slamming a hotel door.

You figure you should first ask permission from the passenger behind before you recline your seat? Weird.
Half the time I have no idea who's sitting behind me until well into the flight when I get up to take a wiz.
What makes anyone think the person behind doesn't also have their seat reclined?
Image a flight where everyone wants there seat reclined but won't because they're afraid of offending the person behind. The person behind wants their seat reclined but won't for fear of offending the one behind them, and so on and so on. Could make a Twilight Zone episode or at least a Seinfeld one.
Yeah I'm not gonna wait for the green light on that one. If I'm on a plane I'm doing my best to sleep, maybe I'm a selfish bastard.
That's the #1 thing that bothers me when flying. Person in front of me can recline their seat all they want. But if I'm dozing off and some choad sitting behind me wrenches the top of my seat so violently I damn near get whiplash....not happy.
Use your legs to stand up, people, not your arms.

True, I don't touch anyone elses seat. But if it a feeble little old lady I'll cut her some slack if she touches mine.
Seats really don't recline a whole lot anyhow. You almost have to look twice to determine if one is leaned back.
Nobody is saying you can't recline it. But you should do it gently or provide some kind of signal that you're doing so. It's not like that takes any extra work on your part.
