Was on a UA regional that afternoon and happened to get an exit row in first, and happened to have encountered the same dreaded FA, who told me that I would have to go to coach because of "FAA Law."

To paraphrase my response, it was "no that's how your regional has chosen to enforce FAA's exit row policies, UA mainline doesn't do it now, I think you can understand people would get confused, even me, and I know the policy."

She said "no, you have to go back to coach, let me find somewhere to put you."

I had a friend in coach, so I told her "no problem, I'll do the switch for you" and I walked back frustrated and said to him, "here's an upgrade to first, apparently I'm an ....... for flying while fat again." She was standing right behind me and then jumped in and said "I can have you kicked off this plane for using foul language, I have that ability, am I going to have to have you kicked off or arrested?"
