    Spirit now has no recline seats.
    Spirit Airlines seats: New Spirit Airlines planes have seats that don’t recline - South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

    "Spirit's new stationary seats weigh less offering greater fuel economy, Pinson said. In addition, there are fewer moving parts built into the seat, which minimizes maintenance costs associated with broken seat backs. Pinson said the result is lower fares.

    Hmmm, a 28 inch seat pitch and carryons under the seat......sounds a "little" cramped.

    Reclining seats can be a double edged sword too. The person in front leans his chair back, then you have to lean yours back to gain back that space. If they all stayed upright, there wouldn't be that problem, besides, they recline to a joke. You call that reclining? Also, its probably better for circulation and your back to not recline to that "joke level". Changing recline actuators is a simple operation, easy money.
