For me it&#x27;s neither. It&#x27;s about not flying in excruciating pain due to the seat back angle. I need a few extra degrees of recline or my lower back is in absolute agony even after a short 1 hour flight. I flew Jet Blue (no recline) once and it was the most painful flight of my life. Never again. If they&#x27;d recline the seats by several degrees, all of the seats, then I&#x27;d personally have no problem with them removing the adjustable recline. Until that day, I will recline my seat.
