Lean on me
Regarding “Space Invaders” [On the Spot, Dec. 7]: I have had two spinal surgeries, and one of them causes great pain on an airplane. The airline seat backs push my head forward, the worst position for me. I almost always recline my seat except during meal service. Generally I ask the person behind me if they mind. No one has ever objected. I do this out of courtesy, but why should I have to? I paid for a seat that reclines, so why can’t I recline? I don’t get it and take offense that a person using their paid- for space is called a “jerk face.”
