Exactly why I posted. The curt response, unwillingness to provide UG information, and FA comment combined to be quite confusing.
All the FA needed to say was "There's a broken FC seat and you are #X for zero (or -1) seats, so it doesn't look good right now."
Still no clue about the FA line. Seat had a sign in it and nobody sat in it the whole flight. This was on a CR9 and both FAs were snug in their jump seats for takeoff and landing.
