Meanwhile, both AA (by policy) and DL (in EC and even if not, in practice) do this, and some of the time I have been in row 9 on VX, the FAs have comped me a drink, thanked me for my business.
Alas, I'm sure its just FAs trying to do their jobs, and they will be stoutly beaten about the head and eyes for their efforts....
