Another plane fight’s hit the headlines with a Jetstar flight from Melbourne to Bali. The video is everywhere, two idiots going nuts over a reclined seat. One guy leans back, the other’s yelling “One of us is gonna die,” like it’s not just a quick trip for a Bintang. Cabin’s a circus, crew’s flailing, and I’m loving it. Been ages since we had a decent mid-air scrap – the world is too soft these days. Bring it back, I say.
Jetstar’s the real fuckwit here. Stop putting recliners in your shitty, broken planes, and we’re not brawling at 30,000 feet. The recline or not debate has been splitting us forever – half the plane’s ready to kill over two inches, the other half’s just trying to nap. Chuck a few $20 horrendous Furphy’s in the mix and you’ve got a war that would make Israel-Gaza look like childs play.
Jetstar’s planes are the pits, though. Seats so tight you’re basically cuddling the stranger next to you, legs jammed up, some baby crying in your ear. Reclining’s the only way to not feel like death – but then you’re screwing the poor bastard behind you. That’s why it kicked off – one guy’s trying to breathe, the other’s got a tray table in his guts. At this point you’re just praying that the flight goes down.
Here’s how I see it. Domestic flights – keep it upright. Two hours to Brisbane or wherever – you don’t need to recline, you’re not that precious. Suck it up and scroll your phone like a normal person. International – Bali, Europe, long-haul stuff – tilt away. Six hours plus, you’re allowed to not hate your life. Jetstar’s a different beast – so grim you’ve got to recline just to survive.
Fuck you if you do recline though.
