It's the one in *A where UA flyers can get into exit row on almost every flight by simply using a telephone.

So what? Since those 4 seats stay free 98-99% of the time for FTers to take them 24h before departure, what's the problem? I leave the philosophical stuff to others and prefer to stay practical.

Again, you do not know the facts. Because SENs and HONs actually
can pre-assign exit rows in longhaul Y
anytime, not just during the 24h window. However, they
don't fill these seats in 98-99% of all cases, leaving them free for YOU and any FTers "in the know" to take.

Feel free to step out of your office and make the phone call.
If it isn't important, why complain? As a UA elite, you can always pre-assign a seat in the premium area in the front of the Y cabin. Whereas *Gs flying UA will get the kettle area in the very back. Oh, and I make my calls whenever I please, whereever I please.
