Returning to LA. Sat in exact same seats on the way out. Queen Purser tells me we cant sit in exit row b/c we have kids behind us. I flipped out saying we did this on way out. She threatened to have me removed from the plane b/c I cursed (said ........). Little queen purser went to gate agent to try and move us or move me off of the plane.
I can't believe this is happenIng. I've flown well over 200,00 miles with kids either in front or behind me when Im in an exit row. Am I wrong?

How can you allow it forever and now change? Why was it allowed for years and not now?
This will def get me out of UA. Thats a revenue stream for a family of 5. This is still going on as we are at the gate. Any advice. More to come
First, you're wrong. You're not eligible to be seated in the exit row if traveling with children. It not being noticed before doesn't mean it isn't still wrong now.

Second, if you're not willing to move out of the exit row when the FA asks you to, then you should be removed from the plane.

I would quickly adjust your attitude before you find yourself facing more severe consequences.
