If there are still seats available once all revenue pax have been dealt with and everyone who wanted upgrades (based on points/payments) has been processed, then I see no reason why staff shouldn't benefit. As long as I have the seat I wanted, I don't really care who is sharing the cabin with me.

That's just fair and I can see your point though it will still not change my opinion. I had it several times that e.g. cabin stuff on holiday trips was put into C or even F. Now given the fact that on LH one has to value the precious time SOME (certainly not all) FA's are kind enough to spent on their paying customers, I really don't find it too exciting to have their short attention span even further decreased by lengthy chats with their traveling colleagues. Hmm, do I sound bitter here
. Well, maybe I had just some very bad experiences in that regard and overall it is not that bad, but still at a minimum the F cabin should remain better "protected". Cheers ...
