Frequent flyers don't recline (as a rule of thumb).

The amount of comfort gained by reclining your seat is so minuscule compared to the amount of leg and general real estate that you eat up for the person behind you. I fly a lot and am not always able upgrade to the additional legroom seat. I don't recline (other than international or redeye flights when everyone is sleeping).

If it's a short flight (less than 3 hours) and you must recline your seat, please do so gently, or perhaps by giving the person behind you a heads up. Rather than jamming your entire body weight backward directly into my knees. Or right into my iPad and drink that are on the tray table right after the flight attendant did drink service.

And please don't ask to climb over me on a short flight to use the bathroom. Go before you board and once you deplane. It's not that hard.
