So I guess the point of this post is that if you experience confusion with cross-fleeting crews, it's clearly due to a lack of comprehensive training and that we should all try to pitch in and offer them as much help as possible!
Not to make a mountain out of a molehill here, but is this worth reporting to the FAA? Or at least to AS? Fight crew being unfamiliar with the aircraft seems dangerous.
Not being able to raise the seat before landing is technically a safety issue (though with the embarrassment of pitch on the VX planes in F it's really just a technicality -- you are not going to block or delay row 2 from getting out) but I would have serious questions about whether they know how to open the emergency exits or operate the other safety-critical features of the plane.
