UA LAX->EWR this week, the plane almost fully boarded, we're in premium economy. Family of 4 boards, kids and wife, seats ABC and dad directly across in D, middle seat next to him occupied. Dad has this elitist attitude. He asks the women in the middle seat and asks if she would move so one of his daughters can sit next to him. I thought this strange as they had 3 seats together w/mom DIRECTLY ACROSS, but hey I have 2 girls of my own so whatever. I'm not sure anyone would say no, so the Woman in the middle seat moves a few rows back to another empty middle. He doesn't move his daughter, didn't even ask her. In flight, he is all laid out in the middle seat w/computer, drinks on the middle table, stretch out reading the paper, etc....

What's with passengers these days, it's really unbelievable how inconsiderate people are on board these days.
If that were me who had moved, I would have moved back out of principle.
