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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
