I'd rather stand in a hallway than sit for an extra 15 minutes on a CRJ. All the perseverating about lack of preboarding on Airlink really does baffle me. I always try to be the last one on those planes.
Oh, and if somebody asked me to trade 1B for 11A, I would politely refuse ("sorry, ma'am, but due to my hysterical claustrophobia I must sit in my preassigned seat") and suggest that her daughter try trading with 11B.
