I was gonna request an empty row/area - plane wasn’t even 1/4 full - but got the vibe to just be quiet and not to push my luck. I mean it’s almost empty, it’s COVID, we’ll be spread out right? Freaking in the middle seat of a full row of 3; almost empty plane. Both passengers looked at me like WTF!?! I was a regional guy at the time, but come on. You really have to try to provide such $hitty customer service.
I was PS about 6 round trips between DFW and PHX during my upgrade this spring and flew in first class the majority of the time and always exit row seats the rest. No issues with gate agents or flight attendants. Perhaps your RBF was the issue from your experience 5 years ago?
