Southwest "Seat Recliner Lock"

Happy Saturday all. Hope you have some time to kick back this weekend.

I've previously stated that flying as a 6'6 human is quite hellish at times, but it's a thousand times worse when you have someone in front of you who reclines their seat all the way back. It just adds insult to injury when they don't even need the legroom, but I'll stop ranting and get to my point.

Part of the checkout process for any app is going through a million different upsells like joining a rewards program, pre-ordering a snack, or signing up for the credit card program.

Since upsells are already a part of the process, what if there was a way to "lock" the seat in front of you for a small fee? My guess is a lot of people would pay for this. There could even be an additional upsell to prevent someone else from locking your seat. The chaos that would ensue would be wild to witness.

So what do you say, would you pay for a feature like this?

Shoutout to Clinton for the suggestion.
