This troll got a free seat and was given an exit row. I’m sorry but when I commute, I am grateful for any free seat and would never go and bash that airline to the pilots of that airline, after getting a free seat, a free exit row seat.

Not to thread-drift.... but is it just me? This seems to be a VERY common issue lately....
After 2 regional guys in one week- then a United guy: “Hey man, thanks for the ride- they already gave me a seat, but I figured I’d go ahead and ‘do the right thing’ and bring this form to ya....”
Long pause- then I said, “well, as long as we’re ‘DOING THE RIGHT THING....’ Ya got an ID???
What’s going on??

And I do the same, it’s a “get all the docs out” if you want to play the “hey I got a seat from the agent” game.
Ahhh, what happened to the old days of...
“Hello (addresses both pilots, FOs are often ignored) I’m Jim with ABC airlines, here is my docs, the agent has a seat for me but I wanted to see if it was ok with you both if I got a ride? It’s ok? Thanks. I’ll grab my bag from the jetway. Appreciate it.”
Now it’s “hey, I got a seat in the back, just wanted to check in”

Not defending the guys that do it but I wonder if the young guys are used to not doing it since at least for the regional WO’s it’s not required to check in with the crew when given a seat in the back on American. Not sure if it’s the same for the other legacy’s on their regional carriers.
