LOL - I don't know if it's still this way, but Uzbekistan Airways used to be first-come first serve for the whole plane -- including the F cabin! Talk about some really rough boardings and arguments over seats!!! I also believe that the flights were mandatory chain smoking back in the day, but I couldn't see any of the instructional cabin lights through the haze.
