Just reported this in the other thread about any takers for the $40 upgrade your boarding position . . .
Person on my flight is travelling with three other people. One person buys the $40 fee and secures A 6. Other three people board with their B group boarding passes.
A 6 proceeds to sit in bulkhead aisle seat, and then spreads her coat, book, tablet, papers, etc. all across the entire row of six bulkhead seats.
FA says nothing. No one challenges her. Her three companions board and take the saved seats, leaving the middle seats empty. SCORE!!
Rather than pay $10 each for EBCI when travelling with a group, just have one person pay the $40 and then SAVE SEATS.
Seriously, I am FED UP with seat savers. They never save a random row, it is always bulkhead or exit rows. And of course the FA says nothing.
