Knee defender $21.95. Diverted and kicked off for acting like 5 year olds...priceless

[doh]

I wonder if this "knee defender" guy was reclining his seat into the guy behind him.

I guarantee it!:laugh:

Lol-he probably was also using the "recline enforcer."

that knee thing shoud be illegal. You are tampering with an airplane in my opinion.

I've personally never used knee defender, but love the idea. United seat pitch is already tight enough without having the passenger in front of me slamming their seat back as far as it will go and rendering my workspace useless. He should have compromised with the other passenger and adjusted his knee defender to allow partial recline. Yes, the knee defender actually let's you adjust how much or how little seat recline you want to let your seat mate have.

Out of courtesy, I never recline my seat unless in 1st class.

I am too cheap to buy Knee Defender. If someone reclines into my knees I just keep moving my knees around poking about 1.5 inches into their spine and miraculously they adjust their seat... sometimes my knees end up 2.5 inches into their spine or or sometimes -0.50 inches.. I don't care. Its their choice. They paid for the seat and it comes with adjustable spine intrusion.

you guys are much nicer about it. I just hock a lugey into their hair unless they are bald and only then I paint a number or letter on their head for everybody behind them to learn for the day.

I go with the flow. These folks, the good, the bad and the ugly are the reason I get a paycheck and they've suffered enough to get to that seat. The last thing I want to do is start a range war over the seat.

I've sat on the second jumpseat for 4 hours before. I can certainly tolerate someone's reclining seat back.

GTFU

Well said Room! This I all about a couple narcissistic whiny morons that couldn't tolerate being civil for a few hours while they were being safely flown to their destination at 500 mph for just a few dollars.

Good point, Dan.

Roomwithaview is only a narcissistic whiny moron when it comes to our union not doing exactly what he thinks it should. Then he's world class. Other than that, he's a peach. Hey Room, are you sure you're not Wayne Stamps?--you remember, the old SWAPA VP who used to tell new-hire classes prior to 9/11 that they were stupid for coming to Southwest instead of the legacies?

A union is what you put into it. Whether it's SWAPA or ALPA. Don't like it? Then work to change it. And if nobody cares about your ideas or votes for you when you run? Then bitch and moan, and compare it to the Nazis. That's a good plan.

Yeah that urban legend really put a hurting on ole Gaylon's career. Pull up the swapa financials for the last umpteen years and see how bad things are for him. Pay particular attention to the trip pull/comp time and the payout per committee.

You just keep patting the boys at swapa on the fanny for the bang up job they're doing.
