What I don't really understand is why anyone else cares what I do with my seat. As long as nobody is taking away your seat, it's really none of your business what I do with mine. Most of the time on a flight, whether in 1st or coach I am either asleep or have headphones on watching a movie. I really couldn't care less what the guy next to me is doing.

Seems we're talking two different things here -the OP as I understand it has an F award ticket but space hasn't yet opened up for him. So he has paid for it (no different paying with miles to money) and presumably will if seats remain open get moved up -a bit of a different situation to Mr Tightwad who buys himself a F ticket but buys his wife a Y ticket and then expects her to be able to sit in F with him anyway.

It probably won't get as ugly as the "Who moved Bingo back 15 minutes - Now I can't eat dinner at 5pm!" discussion, but it will be close.

Likely unique to flights that required you to remove your shoes to get onboard, but in this case would be a justification for denying visitors even if a single party occupied the F cabin.
