What the article doesn't mention, maybe because it's not a global thing yet, is that non-reclining seats have been introduced in the last year. On flights within Europe I haven't had a reclining seat in ages, no matter whether flying on an LCC or flag carrier. I don't think there was any uproar about that change.

I've recently flown LHR->CDG and back on one of those lovely Brazilian Embraer jets that are flying all over Europe. Seats definitely reclined.
