You will most likely NEVER see an employee in F on the MCO flights as they are almost always full, even in Y. The fact that there were many pre-teens in the F cabin simply means that there were more families on the MCO flights that were willing to upgrade their kids as well. I hate it when people here start yacking about how the employees are always sitting in F when they have no idea what they are talking about - that is a benefit of this job that any of us rarely ever see - it just doesn't happen. Whatever other airlines do is their thing, at AS we rarely have F seats to give to employees.
