Woman reclines her seat, and the man behind her seat allegedly punched her seat hard 9 times, then started to shake her seat for the rest of the flight:

She claims the AA flight attendent blamed her and gave him free drinks.

She later then says she's been having headaches for a week resulting in lost days at work and requiring her to go to a doctor and getting xrays:

She will now call the FBI to press charges:

That guy is an asshat but claiming injuries for that? Imagine if there was flight turbulence, she might have died.

Unless by some very unlucky circumstances she was somehow actually injured through contact with a cushioned headrest, I hate people who bring about frivolous lawsuits. Guy should definitely fall flat on his face and bust his nose though.

She should have stopped or asked a flight attendant for another seat. Dude clearly didnt want her all the way back, she could have talked to him or tried to reason with him instead of trying to make something out of nothing.

Wish she got the HARD punches on tape though.

I think both are acting childish. The seats have a reclining feature, so you are fully within your rights to use the recliner. As a passenger behind, ask if they can recline forward, and if they don't, you just deal with it.

i can't speak for all planes, but i've never seen a chair on one that could recline so far you could injure the person behind you or their property

She's a jackass for reclining that much especially when the person behind her can't.

I am quite intrigued that people are taking the dude's side...

1) the seat has the ability to recline because YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO.
2) even if that were wrong, the dude behind her was acting like a 5 year old, with his seat punching and verbal harassment.
3) Why couldn't the dude simply...ask her not to recline like a civilized person?

she tried to get the attendant to stop him but she was ignored

the attendant shouldve asked the him to stop but he didnt get him out of the plane if people can be kicked out for their body odor this guy shouldve kicked out for punching her seat

The Airlines will all start removing the reclining seat functionality soon.

Every seat will be "Pre-Reclined" at a arbitrary angle and be fixed.

What if all the airlines started replacing the current seats with Inverted Hexagonal Seating?

https://www.geek.com/geek-cetera/horrible-new-hexagon-seating-on-planes-aims-to-cram-in-more-people-1627679/

Imagine having the person to the Left/Right of you facing you during the entire flight.

But one advantage is that the seat would be able to be "Pre-Reclined" and the seat base can automatically rise up like a movie theater seat making for faster (regular/emergency) egress/ingress.

There would be no more elbow wars, more shoulder space, and you can do a proper hand shake with your neighbor on both sides =D

She felt so threatened that she could not help but calmly record this most dreadful and vicious assault to her seat in its fully reclined glory.

Seriously, someone doing that continually for a couple of hours would be highly annoying and the airline should just cough up a travel voucher and be done with it. But calling in the FBI and seemingly pretending to have been seriously injured by this?

Both of these assholes went way too far.

I fly all the time. I always fly economy class. I'm a big guy. I am not a huge fan of someone leaning their seat back but I'm also not a big enough bitch to act like a toddler because the person in front of me used a feature they paid for.

She did nothing wrong based on the information available.

Spring Air in China already does this. They are a low fair airline. The seats on most domestic and international flights (I've flown them between the mainland and Thailand/Hong Kong a couple of times). The seat recline is fixed. I always get off their flights with a sore back.
