The same agent said I wasn’t allowed to sit in first and handed me a coach seat. I politely asked about the new policy and he said that D6’s have never been allowed in first. Both agents agreed. I thought maybe this was a rogue agent, but now I’m on my third AA flight where I see empty seats up front. Maybe it was booked full and someone no showed or has the policy changed to not allow D6 up front again? Appreciate the ride as always, and enjoying a whole row to myself, but was just curious.
