Knee-defender sees passengers kicked off United flight
Airline passengers have come to expect a tiny escape from the confined space of today's packed planes: the ability to recline their seat a few inches. When one passenger was denied that bit of personal space, it led to a heated argument and the unscheduled landing of their plane, just halfway to its destination.

Just goes to show that Economy Plus seating doesn't mean much in extra knee room. Knee room and leg room have always been 2 different things as far as I'm concerned.
knee defender ? somebody should invent a passenger interrupter !
Wow! How else can we control more of nothing, if you want a seat that won't recline in front of you pay for
the bulk head or any row 21 on United and ? on other airlines or take your cheap seat and bitch about something else. Geez, if you need that much control ... DRIVE ! Do we need to post the rules of common sense on overhead
bins - so idiotic flyers can learn something, ... how the worlds FA's put up with it I'll never know.

The way to resolve the knee and leg room problem is to get approval from the FAA to appprove a section of the airplane where there is standing room only. This will solve the economy seating problem and the ability to reclining the seat, as for the need for seat belts we will look at that issue later. Yes deregulation has gone to far and the need to bring back big brother. A simple solution could be as easy as removing one or two rows of seats instead of 40 rows make it comfortable.
A compromise is for recliners to gently recline their seat so that they do not injure the passengers behind them. The core problem is that general courtesy is lacking among air travelers today. Whenever one takes an action that impinges on another's space, like reclining a seat, a little courtesy goes a long way.
Remember, this person could NOT recline.
IMO, since deregulation, airlines have gotten worse at getting us from point A to point B and better at lining their corporate pockets. They do that by systematically making seats narrower and closer together. (It is the frog in the pot of (boiling or not) water. It is horrible to say but I travel fewer times and move to Business or First to do it. I realize others can't do the same and empathize for them.
