You don't seem to realize that these two are related. If someone reclines their seat it makes it harder for people behind them to exit. Of course they are going to grab your seat back to steady themselves.
This is the only image I can find with a live body in it. Just one person shown, but knees into the next seat.

I have been flying Southwest for the past 4 years and have been able to snag exit row seating, so not much issue here. I am 6'5" and if I don't snag those seats, my knees are against the seat in front of me that actually prevent the seat in front to recline. Any flight longer than 3 hours, DW and I go in the seats up front, on another airline.
Yuk! I'd rather be racked and stacked like I imagine a military bunk would be in a submarine. That seat reminds me of movies where they put people in a state of suspended animation for space travel. At least then, you're weightless, strapped in and unconscious.
Though, if it was just for a quick trip, I guess It'd be okay, like when I fly from Detroit to Chicago. Plan barely levels off.
Pay toilets could be a revenue enhancer for the airline, and people might not be such slobs if they had to actually "spend a penny."If it wasn't prohibited by labor laws for the flight crew and attendants, I think we would see A-320's and 737's without lavatories. That is the mindset of the low cost carriers IMO.

Some of the responses on this thread make me shake my head. What ever happened to good old common courtesy? Does that not apply to airplanes? I am a 5 foot 10 woman and if I see someone needing help to get their bag in or out of the overhead, I help them ( do the same thing in supermarkets, etc). Before I recline my seat I check with the person behind me to make sure this will not cause a problem for them. I let the person in the middle seat have the armrests. If I am in the aisle seat I tell the other people in middle and window seat to let me know when they need to get out and I will be glad to get up. If someone wants to talk the whole flight and I don't, I just politely tell them I need to work or get some rest, etc.
One flight so was tired and wanted to sleep but the 85 yo guy was lonely and wanted to talk so I talked to him for 3 hours.

We follow these simple flight etiquette rules:
1. Don't fly coach.
2. Don't fly coach.
3. Don't fly coach.
4. When premium cabin flights appear expensive, see rules 1-3.
While not immune to the travesty(s) of coach, we seldom have to deal with:
a) The very unkempt dude wearing a t-shirt with arm holes that extend to his thighs.
b) The plus size gal in minus size stretch pants.
c) Feral kids and their even more feral parents.
d) F-ing fake comfort critters - critters gotta go coach with the other, less behaved, animals.
This might be the worst thing I've ever read on this forum.
They just need a chair similar to that box that checks carry one luggage. Either it fits or it doesn't.Southwest has a very practical policy on very wide passengers. Have to pay for 2 seats, however, if the flight is not full, the extra airfare is refunded. It is the gate agent that decides who needs to pay for 2 seats. Sucks to have that job.
