Recently on a domestic flight, I asked if I could move to the other side of the aisle where there was a 4 across row with one person at the other end. The flight attendant thanked me for asking and said by all means I could move. None of the seats involved was a preferred seat.

I was asked to return to my seat (not a preferred seat) while the entire row of preferred seats remained empty for the entire flight of 7 hours. I don't see a problem with that.

There is a truly over-zealous YVR-based FA who frequently marches up and down the aisle of the YVR-MEX-YVR flights holding the pax list and will admonish those who have taken a Preferred seat. The best part is when he gets short with non-English speakers. Those seats are nothing special so its odd to be after pushback that it would be such a major issue. Now Y to PY does bug me and without the curtains....this self-seat upgrading occurs on every flight.

And if they don't enforce them, there's no incentive to pay for them.
