Seat fight! Another flight gets diverted over reclining seat dispute - TomoNews

An angry Delta Air Lines passenger during a flight from New York to Palm Beach, Florida on Monday is just the latest person to cause enough of a commotion over reclining seats to successfully ground a commercial plane. The passenger, identified as Amy Caryn Fine, was reportedly attempting to sleep on her lowered tray table when a woman who was knitting in front of her tried to recline her seat back. Despite no reported injuries the 32-year-old began screaming and cursing and demanded the plane land immediately. The aircraft was diverted to Jacksonville, and upon landing Fine was escorted off by police. The incident represents the third time a plane was forced to land because of an argument over reclining seats in just nine days.
