So, I have seen some strange and entitled behavior flying over the last 20+ years, but this one was pretty awful.
ATL-EZE last night, 17 paid business class seats (or some form of revenue). 40 minutes prior to boarding every single seat except for 3 are filled with employees, friends of employees, or last minute upgrades (Ill save my ranting about dilution of product for another time-not the point of this thread). Anyway, after all non-revs and upgrades are cleared, only 1 A B/C remain open.
After the usual meal service which I skip on this flight as its later than I like to eat, I head to bed. I wake up 3 hours into the flight and notice there is a man sleeping in 1 C. Gave it a few minutes of though but was too tired to care anymore than that.
Fast forward to breakfast, 1 of the FAs and the purser are standing in the galley clearly discussing who this guy is and where he came from. At about that moment, in view of them, he wakes up, ignores the 1 FA who asked for his breakfast order...and walks back to his seat in the last row of the plane. In shock, the lead lead purser quickly follows.
As we were waiting to deplane, she asked me if I saw the gentlemen and I repeated much what I stated here. She, with a smile on her face, said that when they questioned him, he said "the seat was open, so I sat in it".
When we deplaned in EZE there was a police officer waiting and according to what I overheard, they planned to bill him for the difference in fare.
