Some are gona think this is a dumb ? , but here goes..

Our Warrior (new to us) has a seat back "release" on the co-pilots
seat..

OK, -so does the seat back lock in the " forward position" and the
"release allows it to move back to the "upright" position?

Ours does... seems backward tho...

Any reason for it locking forward (rear seat entry position)?

Most seats I have seen lock upright and are "released" to fold
forward..

This seat works opposite...

Thoughts you can share?

I think the idea of it working this way ensures a lock failure will
never hinder flying operations. If it locked upright and the locking
mechanism failed, the seat would try to fold forward; something you
wouldn't want to have to deal with in the air, especially if its
spring loaded.
