which is why as i stated earlier, i watch my itins like a hawk where i go in and look at each and every seat 'ust in case what you described happens (and i do it even after i have checked in on-line and double check with the first chicken i see when i arrive at the airport).
also as a rule of thumb for me, i take the second of the two exit rows (11 if 10 & 11 or 12 if 11 & 12) as more often that not, i have found that the first exit row on some configurations do not have full recline (even if seatguru says "full recline")
