The anger is mis-directed. The airlines have shrunk the room down to a barely human amount of size. Again, the headrests in the seat are right at the point where they push my whole head forward and angled down so I do lean back a bit so I can actually look forward.

You guys want to make it out that somehow the seat angle makes a difference. It doesn't. It decreases your air space sure, but the pivot point is even with you knees meaning the distance from the seat to your knees doesn't change appreciably.

A 6'1" person has an average back to knee length of about 25" and the average distance on the seat is 31". If you sit straight up and move your feet forward slightly there is no problem.

My real beef is that once the seat is reclined I can't even lean forward to reach my bag on the floor. That does suck. The airlines suck for reducing legroom... ...but don't make this the passengers problem, take it to the airline.

...my credentials? 500k airline miles in my FF account.
