Flight attendants, who are categorized as D7, are not authorized to travel D7 on international flights at all, so you should have gotten the seat ahead of her, assuming you are on the approved list of carriers for D6 international.
According to the Eagle FO that flew me off the Island out of MHH (Marsh Harbor), 30miles away from TCB where I was bumped, the D6U is correct just as written on my reservation, and there is no limit to the number of "Delta" pilots in the cabin since we reciprocate and do the same for American and American Eagle folks. This was an Island, agent attitude, not knowing how to do her job correctly issue. I just wanted to kinda warn anyone heading that way to be aware.
