Just watched a couple of professionals in action on DTW-MCO. They board to find their seats have "mysteriously been separated". Funny they had the boarding cards the whole time.
The immediately go into poach mode. When the first guy declines to change, they throw a , but it's my wife/husband routine, as if it is so horrific that they be separated. The wife starts working on the other guy and since he is mr. Caveman, they swap.
As they are moving around, the wife spits out, "yeah it's really not a big deal to move as it's such a short flight!"
So why did they make a federal case over something that was not a big deal? I bet they think their poop carries no odor either......
Thank you row 5 for reaffirming why I avoid seat swaps.
