Agreed. Which makes you wonder why ULCC has so few MCE seats on mainline than UA or DL? Seriously on 737s it's only one real row of MCE right? I don't count row 8 (or whatever the bulkhead is, it's fraudulent that the bulkhead row is sold as extra legroom), and we can't use the exit rows with young kids. So that's just one real row of MCE.
Thankfully most of our flying is on E75s with plentiful MCE so I am thankful for that. And for lounges that rarely ever are crowded. The staff at the Eagle's Nest AC is so great, always giving our kids juice boxes and little treats to keep them happy. The best. Too bad Isom sucks at his job.
