It's interesting that I've never seen her logic printed on a Delta or United airlines pamphlet.

Perhaps it's in German and I missed it?

There's probably nothing in their pamphlet about being a smug schmuck either, but most people know better.

I sincerely do not go looking for this stuff.

Don’t Want Me to Recline My Airline Seat? You Can Pay Me
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/28/up...an-pay-me.html

I fly a lot. When I fly, I recline. I don’t feel guilty about it. And I’m going to keep doing it, unless you pay me to stop....

Quote taken from Mandias' link:

"I wrote an article to that effect in 2011, noting that airline seats are an excellent case study for the Coase Theorem. This is an economic theory holding that it doesn’t matter very much who is initially given a property right; so long as you clearly define it and transaction costs are low, people will trade the right so that it ends up in the hands of whoever values it most. That is, I own the right to recline, and if my reclining bothers you, you can pay me to stop."

Interesting.

I don't even think I'd accept payment for how uncomfortable I'd be on a 4++ hour flight without reclining from the 85 degree angle of those fucking airplane seats.

Would you accept a quickie in the toilet?

Blowing a load, (whether w/ assistance or solo) does seem to make air travel more tolerable.

Scumhook is onto something here...
