As always, sfogate, thank you for the detailed answers... It's awesome to have you here, no matter what movieman123 says!

I'm not sure. The lady started talking to her about her daughter and I think (which is dangerous at times) this made the FA realize we weren't pricks that were out to get anyone.

She claimed to be from IAH, living on the water.

The pilot was in uniform (I assume it was the one she referred to, as I saw him deplane) so I doubt he was vacationing; the 3 on the vacation passes were upgraded. The FA claimed that the GA said, "Sorry, we didn't have any seats left" when referring to giving her daughter a big seat. I thought that was odd b/c the GA shouldn't have any say in whether or not a NW Plat is upgraded.

Revenue. That's how the discussion of "We never fly free, let alone family or friends" came about.
