The row behind EC
I couldn't find this in the FAQ thread.
Does anyone know what the legroom situation is on the row behind EC? I know EC seats lean more, so I assume the row behind EC has slightly more pitch than a regular Y seat?

Back when international EC was introduced, a few of us tested this out. It apparently varies by aircraft. The 772 row behind EC did not have improved pitch, but others reported more pitch on different aircraft.

was discussing this yesterday with my seat mate. He said he had to book a last minute international in coach (new company policy) and only row available was the one after EC. He said it was absolutely horrible as the increase recline of the pax in front literally crushed his knees because there was no added legroom.

NOTE:
1. The bulkhead seats often have a significant amount leg room (other than the 764). These are narrower as the tray table and/or IFE unit are in the arm rests. The arm rests do not move which, coupled with a smaller seat, can be uncomfortable for larger pax.
2. The first row of regular economy seating after EC IS NOT recommended. The last row of EC has the EC recline and members have reported that there's no extra space between this row and the first row of regular Y.

Woman On My Flight Was Upset at Seat 8A
I was on an LAS-MEM segment yesterday afternoon in EC and overhead the following exchange between a female pax and an FA.
PAX: I'm supposed to be in F
FA: Your boarding pass says 8A
PAX: I thought 8A was in first class. I paid for first class.
FA: F is full; there's nothing I can do; you should contact delta.com when we land.
I'm not sure whether she was a DYKWIA or simply clueless.
