Flying Frontier tomorrow, just checked their website: Knee Defenders inhibit seats from reclining and are prohibited for use onboard

Simple solution is I usually suggest they swap seats. 99% of the time that works and of course the person in front now promptly reclines.

Bottom line: You're an a$$hat if you recline. You know it, and everybody else knows it.
Airlines that ban the Knee Defender: air travel - Which airlines ban the use of Knee Defenders during flight? - Travel Stack Exchange

Air Canada
American Airlines
Continental Airlines
Delta Airlines
Frontier
Jetstar
Qantas
Southwest Airlines
United Airlines
Jetstar
Virgin Australia
WestJet

I would also think the default condition would be to not allow any device that alters the operation of a mechanism on an airplane.

So on your plane, if I set up a device that is not specifically banned, to increase my comfort at the expense of others, you would have no problem with it?

And really, an a$$hat for using a airline supplied feature?

Tomorrow, I be an a$$hat.
