Nonrev pecking order on our own metal
Hypothetically, if I'm the first nonrev/first S4 checked in, and a senior captain S4 is the 3rd S4 to check in, and the gate agent (his buddy from the length of his commute out of this particular outstation) gives him the even more space window (only one left) and me the even less space window (she cleared me first, but into a worse seat), is that a violation of our rules? I watched it go down, and she seemed to hurriedly switch screens so I wouldn't see his seat and gave off that fishy smell, but I didn't push it. I just got done fighting with my wife and I wasn't in the mood to get into another one, nor cause any issues on my future commutes, but I feel like I got stiffed, as petty as it is. A redeye with work the next day is easier with more space. I know seniority rules for the jumpseat, but I didn't think it did for nonreving.
