Uh, if anybody was sleeping in my assigned seat, I don’t have a problem waking them up or calling the flight attendant. I wonder if they moved up to an exit row or something roomier.
“I don’t have a problem waking them up or calling the flight attendant.”
Exactly right.
There was even a little bitty button right in front of their faces they could’ve pushed to call the attendant (while they stood overlooking their occupied seats).
The descriptions suggest that they moved to “United Economu Plus”. You get five more inches of leg room for a significant fee. I was on a recent flight where they wanted 79 bucks for this.
United has always been of the opinion that they’d rather have empty, unsold seats than make customers more comfortable for free.
When Contintenal was Continental, they upgraded everyone possible, so that the only empty seats were the terrible middle seats and those nearest the bathroom.
Now CO is gone and they’d rather see customers pissed off. Way to go, United! So much for “The Friendly Skies.”
Years ago I’ve seen freeloaders move into first class seats after the door closes if they were empty. Not so much anymore, as all 1st class seats are filled.
Some people think they are entitled, and try to take what is not theirs.
Maybe it’s time to bring back the “slapjack”.
