What I don’t understand is why someone does not want the added luxury of extra leg space in an exit row. When I fly ET I fight from the moment of booking to secure an exit row but I have seen other passengers refuse the attempts of crew to get them to move to those seats.
On another issue mentioned in this thread, I have never understood why cabin crew can move around the aeroplane while passengers are forbidden so to do. In some circumstances they may have the responsibility for ensuring safety but they are up and around preparing food and drinks and getting themselves to where they need to be immediately after the bongs that release them shortly after takeoff.
