Flight went out with 1 F seat left open but agent didn't clear list?
Flight 6128 IAD to JAX and there were 6 people on wait list (I was #3 on the list, sitting in 7C)
#1 guy on the list (7B) and I were discussing it. He was trying to get FA attention prior to doors closing but doors closed.
she came to ask what he needed. He was a Premier Platinum.
He asked if he could take the open seat (literally one row up it's a RJ) and oddly she said yes
Got me wondering 1) why did this happen 2) technically she shouldn't have allowed this right? What if I was the only one who noticed and I took the seat (at #3 on list) instead?
Shouldn't he have some type of compensation if she had said no?
