Not saying that this applies to me, but it also works great if your girlfriend is very snuggly and you'd like a break from the excessive cuddling. <cough>

It's funny. A couple of months ago I sat in a row that had a middle seat blocker. I was in the LAX AC and was talking about it. I had asked if this was to bring the pax capability down to 150 so that a fourth flight attendant would not be needed. One of the ladies there (who seems to be very contrarian about everything) chimed in and was adamant that was not the case as to why those blockers were being installed. However, she never gave a reason as to why. I guess the next time I see her, I'll ask her how many FA's are now working 738 flights.

I had asked the agent next to her at the desk. Like I said, I'm not to warm to her and she doesn't seem to be that way with me either. But as another reference, after that exchange and about a couple of months ago, I had to fly in Y (OH THE HORROR) on a flight from DFW to LAX. So when I got into the club, I had mentioned (to the person next to her) that I sort of forgot that they give EXPs a free snack and drink, so it was nice to have the FA ask me what I wanted from the menu. At which point she chimed in that it was a new benefit that started a few months ago. I felt like saying "REALLY?! Because I remember when PLTs used to get it as well." But then I said to myself that it's not worth it.

Depends on which exit row and your sensitivity to seat recline. With no recline limitations (Row 15), definitely exit row aisle. For me, if it was Row 14, it would depend on flight length. If it was a long flight, I'd take MCE middle (and hope for the upgrade)
