IOW, as long as the exit row seating is appreciably worse than main cabin for something like being able to recline a seat, or just the same as main cabin, you can still get it complimentary (and you might get access to some scraps AS has left alon... for now). Otherwise, pay up peon or wait for a handout at 72/48 hours for maybe a middle exit row.

How wonderful and generous.
