Pre-reclined - adj., (2010) - obfuscatory budget airline spin control jargon, formerly non-reclining…

Spirit simplifies your life further. The stressful decisions - do I recline my seat or not, if so, how much??? No more. Their new seats are pre-reclined!

Spirit’s two new Airbus 320 aircraft feature “pre-reclined” seats, spokeswoman Misty Pinson said Tuesday. That means even Spirit passengers who want to pay for reclining airline seats won’t have that option.

The Miramar-based airline put the first A-320 into service on March 14 for the Fort Lauderdale-Washington, D.C., route. The other arrived last week and currently is being used on flights between Fort Lauderdale and New York’s LaGuardia airport. Two more A-320s will join the company’s fleet this summer, and both will feature the “pre-reclined” seat design, Pinson said. - sun-sentinel.com

Imagine the Sprit executives shocked delight when they learned this comfort-enhancing approach allowed them to install more seats. Will wonders never cease?
