I’ve done a fair bit of international travel over the last five years, Covid notwithstanding, and the thing I most appreciated in an airline was a deep recline.
Historians widely believe it was the visigoths who contributed to the fall of Rome when it was in fact the colosseum starting to charge people to bring their own cushions to sit on during fights which was a model implemented across the empire by all owners of fight arenas complaining about reduced profits.
Yes, on the last sentence. Does anyone really think that the non-reclining chair is anything but a scam, and people who tell you otherwise aren't just spouting bullshit justifications? Laughs. However, there have been some improvements in long-haul flights, and I say this as a guy who crossed the pond many times trying to get comfy on a pile of duffel bags next to a glorified bucket shitter. This would be the ban on trans-continental smoking, and I say this as a former smoker. There was nothing like getting off a 747 after ten hours in a smoke-filled cabin. Splitting headache combined with jet lag.
It's the law, don't forget. If there's a way to make more money (by squeezing in more economy seats, say) then it's illegal to rip off the CEO and shareholders by not doing that. Rinse and repeat every reporting season.

"Pre-reclined" puts the lie to "return your seat to the upright position for landing" doesn't it?

That's just going to fuck up my back, stuck in pre-recline. Still, you have provided a list of carriers to avoid.
You need to pump out more 'splosions so that you can afford business class. You gotta believe that George R R Martin ain't flying coach.
and the enshitification of our world continues
