There are a number of blogs which suggest that the COS raise the armrest and say, "I think we'll both be more comfortable with the armrest raised." Well, logic dictates that BOTH passengers won't be more comfortable with the armrest raised, since the COS is engaging in this behavior in order to steal half of the other passenger's seat. It is this type of behavior, and the airlines' refusal to establish and enforce rules to stop it, that infuriate the flying public.
