MU is insane
China Eastern must hire only those who are brain dead cause these "people" are just that stupid............. requested seating INSIDE the plane as the computer generated seats do NOT exist only to be told that they cannot change the exteior aircraft seating assigned by the computer to an interior aircraft seat................maybe that's what they call riding on the wings......

^^ Absolutely priceless. Love Chinese airlines and their explanations (excuses) why they can't do things. I do tend to find CA to be a little more put together though... thankfully I'm usually a *A flyer.

The reason I think is the fact that MU is trying to standardise the seating numbers throughout the fleet but unfortunately the computer system did not match the aircraft OP is flying...
It is a skyteam member so it is expected to be crap. No offense.

MU's new standardized seating scheme is kind of nuts. Two weeks ago, I was assigned something like 32L on an A320, which I expected to be in the way back. Much to my surprise, it was the first row of economy, and the 4th row overall. Based on this lesson, I'd be wary of accepting seats with numbers between 3 and 32 and/or letters other than ABC or JKL.
