I asked her kindly if she could move the bags and she replied with “the last row is reserved for flight attendance to supervise the passengers during the flight”

I dint realize bankruptcy court approved AA to block 6 revenue seats for FAs to “supervise” the passengers. During the flight I looked back to see how hard they were “supervising,” they did look busy supervising with there ipads and eyelids closed!

Not sure if she was a tool for lying…maybe just lazy!!!! If it really is AA procedure to have FAs sit in the last row for a 4 hour flight, than I apologize. But I highly doubt it is!
Damn. I'm guessing you're a NOOB in this business.

I have ZERO problem with that. None. This is normal for them and is basically accepted practice at every airline I've ever flown on, if the flight's not too full. Those FA's are given the most God-awful jumpseats to sit in, usually as hard as a wooden plank, and absolutely vertical back rests. My back and ass hurt just thinking about those seats. So, when the FA's are basically finished with their work and have time to relax a bit, I have ZERO issue with them taking a more comfy seat.

Why anybody would complain is beyond me. You and every other passenger were assigned your own seat. Stay in it and don't worry about a seat that wasn't given to you.
