You're an amateur!".
Whilst I think you are being half-serious here, I take this in jest.
If I check in for a flight that is unlikely to attract out and back pax who may otherwise have "beaten me to it" because they can check in for their return > 24 hours before it is due to depart, because their outbound is the same day, so they check in for both at the same time, then I can normally get a low seq #.
Then there is the case that one is a status pax, yet the previous flight is cancelled, and this means that on the new flight, it is highly possible for the status pax who had seq001 on their original flight can end up with >200 or >300 on the new flight.
So it is possible to be in F in row 1 and have a seq > 300, or be in row 34 in WT and have seq <10.
So you'd ask the WT pax to swap with you? or you wouldn't mind if the WT pax asked to swap
