A few issues, the reclined seat will block the evacuation of those behind you as their space will be restricted. This space restriction may also cause injury to the traveller behind if there’s an abrupt stop (they’d get thrown forward and strike the reclined chair/person in it). Lastly, in the event of a more serious incident the chair design is such that it gives most strength in the upright position, up to 16G deceleration. It’s a certification thing.
@JetBlue@soulbarn Is this response a practical joke? I assume it is. If not, JetBlue - please feel to reach out if you'd like a bit of support with customer service 101. Or just some common courtesy.
With hearts full of sorrow, we remember the cabin crew members we lost - beloved colleagues, cherished friends, and the soul of every journey they were a part of.
Their grace, warmth, and unwavering care touched thousands of lives in the skies and on the ground. To passengers, they were calm and comforting faces. To us, they were family.
Senior leaders from the Tata Group and Air India continue to stand beside their families and loved ones - to honour their memory, share in their grief, and offer quiet strength in a moment that words cannot ease.
Their kindness, spirit, and dedication will forever remain a part of who we are.
We remember:
Aparna Amol Mahadik, Shradha Mahadev Dhavan, Deepak Balasaheb Pathak, Irfan Samir Shaikh, Lamnunthem Singson, Maithili Patil, Kongbrailatpam Nganthoi Sharma, Saineeta Abin Chakravarti, Manisha Thapa and Roshni Rajendra Songhare.
You flew with compassion.
You will be remembered with love.
@BhavikaKapoor5 We need to get over this "enemy" rhetoric. Together these two countries can really build strength, power and defences - against real threat and enemies. We need to really start acting like neighbors. There are bigger fish to fry.
A Final Salute to Captain Sabharwal
With profound grief and heavy hearts, we bid farewell to Captain Sabharwal - an exceptional aviator, a dedicated professional, and a beloved member of the Air India family.
Captain Sabharwal’s unwavering commitment to the skies and his quiet strength on the ground earned him deep respect across the aviation fraternity.
At his funeral today, our COO, Tata Group's HR Head and Communications Head joined his family, friends, and colleagues to pay their respects, share in their pain and grief, and to offer moral support on behalf of the entire Air India and Tata Group family.
We stand in solidarity with his loved ones during this time of immense loss. His memory will continue to inspire us, and his legacy will forever be etched in the heart of Air India.
RIP Captain. You will be missed.
The United States is the only country in history to have used nukes, and it dropped them on civilians. So they're not really in any moral position to talk about who can have nuclear weapons.

@SimonCalder@easyJet your focus has Always been on ultra low cost and accessibility for everyone - but this should not ever supercedes common sense or safety or the law. This is a frequent occurrence now. This isn't acceptable. Fix this 😕
