That's perfectly fine by me. I'm more than willing to accept whatever responsibility is necessary to sit there, if it means I can actually stretch out some.

One thing I've noticed on WN is that the exit row seats are often some of the last to be filled. It's rare that they are all filled by the time the B group starts boarding. Apparently many passengers just aren't aware of the increased room most exit rows have.

Of course, then there's the CRJ-200, where the exit row window seat is actually worse than just about any other window seat on the plane. And the seat pitch is no more than 0.75"-1" better than the other rows on the plane.
