Or to prevent those to take brace position if need in an emergency.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The crew repeatedly requested the passenger to abide by the safety rules, but he retorted, \u201cI fly often; I know what to do.\u201d Despite repeated requests the passenger kept seated with his seat reclined. He was then informed that if he doesn\u2019t comply to the rules, they would report to the pilot to which he replied, \u201cOk, tell him.
