4 empties on my ORD-BWI flight today. One was 21B, and the other 3 were in E-. Due to the very short upgrade list (I died at #1, out of maybe 6 or 7) and the unscientific fact that I was the only one who boarded when 1K was called, the fact that the exit row middle next to me was filled within an hour of the flight, and the fact that the person who filled it just had one small bag, I’m thinking “BE.”
And, to bring this back on topic, I’ve never seen more people sit in the wrong exit row seat in the past 2 days than I’ve seen in a typical year of upgrade failures—including the guy with the small bag seated next to me!
