Most likely the OP moved to a 735 where row 10 is in E- and the exit is row 9. The OP previously might have been in a 733 or 735 ex-SHT where 10A is the exit with no seat in front.
Sorry, was in a work nightmare all day and didn't get to look back until just now. Thanks for the replies. I think I'll be reprinting @ the airport to avoid this from now on, although it still rubs me wrong (not to mention defeats the purpose of checking in online in the first place
).
The GA told me they'd switched versions of 37's. The 'new' one WAS the
-300 (not sure what the original was supposed to be). In any event, 10A is still exit/no seat in front on a -300, so I couldn't figure out why I got moved to E- and non-MP member got 10A (and subsequently tried jamming his bag under his seat, which I curtly told him would have to be removed from my feet and placed under 8A, to which he responded "all the way up there?"...not the right thing to say to the previous holder of that seat).
