TOTD is the pax in front of you while your commuting to/from work, who after takeoff violently forces their seat to recline in an anything but smooth way, and impacts your knees, laptop, etc.
For that offense, I punished anyone within a 20-foot radius once cabin altitude forced the toxins from waste duct.

It gets better though. He mentioned that he was going to "allow" FO Joe to fly this leg and what an outstanding co-pilot he is and how someday when he earns enough time, he to will be a compass capt. So, to you Bob I award you the tool of the day award. Who's next?

Isn't it possible his concerns were more related to fuel savings?

P.S.-calling clearance and saying "Pan Global 123,instruments to Scranton.."=tool.

Back when most companies had the inflight magazines, what I would do is as soon as I got in the seat, I would roll up a couple of magazines tightly and stick them vertically in the seat pocket. That effectively eliminates their ability to recline the seat.
