Question about FAs
Do FAs know what's involved in getting seat assignments? Do they realize certain seats are only offered to elites or higher paying fares? I've had a couple of times when the FA requested a seat change for various reasons, and believed the FA expected me to give up a desirable seat for one not so, in order to accommodate travelers together, a dead-head, or for whatever reason.
Most of my flights are on CRJs and that's where the FA appears to be unaware that most of the forward seats were assigned based on a FF with elite status. If push comes to shove, and I indicate I'm not volunteering to move...I suppose the FA can direct a seat change that must be complied with. If that's the case, any comp if I end up with a crappy seat. Oh yea, on a CRJ, for someone that's tall, any seat except the front bulkhead row is crappy. Thanks.
