Sometimes I do wonder about the arguments put forward here. Ignoring, for a moment the safety issues, it is BA rules that govern the Exec Club, upgrades etc etc and the amount of worry that goes on here about those fuels this whole section of FT. BA and government rules also say you cannot sit on the flight deck - should we ignore that rule too because it is inconvenient? What about smoking onboard?

I have just completed my annual Safety Equipment and Procedures training, one of the exam questions asks about this specific issue. Pregnant women are not allowed in emergency exit rows. If you are clearly pregnant, which at 7 months, I suspect you are, the cabin crew will move you. What is the point of pre-selecting a seat if, when you get onboard, you are moved to another seat? Surely it would be better to pick a seat that suits you and accept that you cannot sit in the emergency exit row?
