I'm going to repeat this again - apologies, but I'm finding it necessary. I was on a flight where a nearly 7 foot guy got booted from his exit row to a regular QX seat for weight re-settlement.
He did not grumble, whine, or complain at the announcement (nor flag the FA for an exemption).
He looked pretty squished in his seat, but seemed not to be anywhere near "agony" status.
He did not "need" to have his limbs in the aisle at any point.
It is my opinion the fellow in question was booted for his (passive-aggressively hostile) attitude. I am now curious ... would you folks consider giving up your exit row QX seat, if such a passenger asked you nicely (or the FA on his behalf)? I probably would.
