I do think FA should remind people to be reasonable. Saving a seat should be tolerated. Mouthing off to a family who sits in your saved row bc otherwise kids scattered everywhere should not be tolerated by FA.
The problem I encountered that makes me say that single seat saving should remain prohibited in bulkhead and exit rows is 2 of us pay for priority boarding and head for the bulkhead that was the specific reason we paid for the priority boarding. We find a guy who was in front of our A5 boarding pass in the bulkhead window saving the middle seat. His companion was either high B or C boarding.
If they wanted the bulkhead the companion should have paid for priority boarding.
The seat saver was pissed, and almost got tossed off the airplane.
If there were butts in the seats we would have moved to the next row and let him keep the seat but this was the bulkhead we paid extra for to try and get.
