...most people are not going to call the flight attendant over to have her deal with a situation like someone trying to change a seat. and if they do call the fa, the chance is she'd say - 'go ahead' and take the seat - especially if they've just closed the door. it's not right, but we all know that not all fa's are the same and some are oblivious to the rules.

and while this is a bit off topic, flying from PIT>DEN on Saturday - the csa put a guy with P2 status in E+ along with his family of three others with no status. I was standing at the podium when this was done and it sort of irked me - either this section is reserved for those with status - or it's not.
