So, are you Team Recline or Team Knee Defender?
By now you've heard the stories. From what I gather, this is the gist: guy puts device onto back of seat in front of him on airplane which prevents seat in front of him from reclining. Woman in front of him tries to recline and is unable to. Tells him to knock it off. Fight ensues. Drinks are thrown into faces. Flight is diverted. Cue the news crew...
It's funny how they are both basically arguing the same point by claiming personal space, or what is perceived to be "justified" use of that space. But they BOTH need to knock it off or we are going to see this to keep travelers in line!!

That's right. Airbus filed a patent for this contraption called the Saddle Seat earlier this summer. So I say let's broker a deal ASAP between the knee/recline factions or we will all be grabbing the spurs next.
Hope you have a great weekend that doesn't involve air travel. Instead, go for brunch and
use one of these snappy charts to guide you.
