I'm not old by my own standards, but I've been riding on planes for close to 50 years and I feel like this has only emerged as a topic of debate relatively recently. It's always been a downer when someone in front of you reclines, but that's just how it goes on an airplane. If I wanted lots of room, I would have taken the train.

Have airline seats gotten tighter (they've always been tight as far as my taller-than-average frame is concerned)? Are people getting bigger? Are people becoming less tolerant of others?

Put me firmly in the "The ability to recline implies a right to recline" camp.
