Ahh, yes. the "You can't possibly be the kind of person one would find in the expensive seats" attitude. I've seen it many times. Usually it's on days when I'm wearing jeans instead of a business suit.

It seems to happen less often at SeaTac, perhaps because of the number of Microsoft employees on those flights.

I'm always very cautious about that. I don't like it when there are tons of people that feel compelled to prevent the early boarders from boarding by blocking the way, when it turns out that they are sitting in the first few rows of coach and won't be called until the very end. So I try to see if I can identify the row number on the boarding pass before I ask to get ahead of them.
