For context, I’m a M-F every week frequent flyer. I’ve boarded hundreds of planes. I just got on a flight and was going to my seat near the back of the plane (only window seat available) when I ran into the flight attendant heading to the front of the plane.
I don’t want to say which airline is it cause I don’t want the flight attendant to find out, but all I can say that it is not a budget airline.
She doesn’t move over for me. All the seats next to us were still empty and no one was behind me because they were still boarding sky priority which was mostly at the front.
I tell her I’m headed to the back and she says, “that’s great, I’m headed to the front” to which I reply, “but I’m a passenger”. Her response was, “yes but I’m a flight attendant”. I’m non-confrontational so I move to the seat next to me and as she passes I say, “and you don’t see a problem with that?” to which she turns around and says, “Woooow”.
That’s pretty much it for the story, but am I wrong for thinking that the flight attendant should move over for the boarding passengers in this instance where she had a clear shot to the front after me?
