Fake leather vs. cloth; who cares what the seat is made of. I was at Express nine years. When I did any DH on the RJ, I would always ask for any "A" seat. I don't do much CAL DH, but when I did in the past I would ask for an empty seat next to me. First class is hard to get domestic, but it does happen now and then. I'll take CAL flights for DH. Warm food, room to get up and walk, can put your bags in it, a movie, first class, etc. Deadheading crews get the aisle seats, not the middle seats. The seats to avoid are the ones that don't recline near emergency exits and the aisle seats near the LAV. You get the line of people waiting for the LAV bumping into you and the lovely smell of being near the LAV itself. Still coach is coach, but Express is all coach.
