As a pax, I may have to disagree with you here. Could you define how the tool "takes your exit row"?

I'm not sure but I think he meant:

If you have a boarding pass, with a seat number on it, but instead of sitting in your assigned seat, you take the exit row, you are a tool...:eek:

It was on my boarding pass, his boarding pass was 2 rows up next to some lady on the double side. I had a 4 leg day, if you include the deadhead leg it was almost 9 hours in the air, and 13 hours duty. We had been CX the night before at 11pm and I had driven home, slept 6 hours, drove back, and was now on my deadhead. I let it go to avoid a huge ordeal, but I think its a tool thing to do. It was not even the seat thing, it was when I came back to grab my paper from the seat back pocket, and pull my boarding pass off the clip holding the tray I asked where he was sitting (as I was curious where I was now sitting), and he got defensive and said well I paid more for my ticket and need the extra leg room (he must have seen me walk up to the cockpit to chat), as I was sitting in the seat for a bit.

how much leg room are we talking here? :D

The ERJ 145 it is a good amount, when I sit in the normal seat my knees are against the seat in front of me, but the ERJ I can put my legs out all the way, they do go under the seat in front of me, but I do not hit anything. When I have a deadhead I always ask for 12A. Further more I think AA charges more for that seat, its in their preferred seating category.

How much more is it for preferred seating? Is the difference in fare worth the money?(in your opinion)

No idea?? However taking a deadheading pilots seat while he walks away, because you want extra legroom is a fairly tool thing to do, ESP when your not being nice about it!! I do not write the rules, but if he wanted the seat he could have asked for it, he may have and found out it was for a fee, then just took it from me. He may also have asked for it and found out I already had it, but I my seat about 2 minutes before they boarded since I went out to the plane just when boarding was about to start and got my seat then.

Boarding pass wins - he's a tool. Tool+ for the 'tude.

I honestly did not even want the seat back, I just wanted my stuff and to find out my new seat, but he was a tool for starting off confrontational with a reason why he deserves it over me. Yes I had the boarding pass for the seat.
