DYKWIA stories
I board my ER 145? (sorry if I named the equipment wrong), I am in 1A, the FA tells me, 2A and 3A that the they are having some Air conditioning problems in the front of this plane and since it is less than half full we can feel free to move to any open row and get two seats to stretch out. 2A immediately jumps up and tries to take both 3 b and c (E+ seats), almost knocking me over. I gave FA my best over entitled look, she glances quickly at the manifest and says to him, "do you know who this is? (no really, she used those words) He is a platinum, you will have to take a different row sir, he is entitled to both of those seats because of his loyal service to the airline. I will however give you a free beverage if you like for the inconvenience."
I laughed only because of this board, then took my seat with the proper glow of an over entitled elite flyer. I will most certainly be giving a great report if .bomb picks this flight for my survey.
The other funny part is that even though they market 3B/C as E+ (or "ELR") seats, I find them to actually be more cramped and restrictive. There's a reason almost everybody on this board recommends row 12 instead. And even if row 12 is occupied, I still prefer rows 4 through 10 over row 3.

Last time I was on one of these (MHT-EWR), I traded my assigned 2A with the pax in 3B so that I could sit with my wife in 3C, and I could not for the life of me tell whether the passenger in 3B thought she had gotten a raw deal.
My seat didn't recline and we had a tough time finding overhead storage space for our bags, so I think on balance the pax we traded with came out ahead.
Funny I was on that plane (I think) when I discovered the ac problem in 1A.
Wow, what a coincidence, I was also on that plane, in 2A. I did not jump up, but rather sprung into action. You'd be how many free drinks I get when some Platinum gives the F/A their best "Over Entitled Look"! Works ever time!!!

Um... how does 2A knock down 1A on the way to 3BC?
