Oh, Tom, I so agree with you!!

A trip or two back JB gave away my preplanned, prepurchased forward seats (row 2 or 3) home from SXM to a Mother and her 10 - 12 year old kids so they could be seated together. Well, that was very nice of JB but it wasn't my fault, nor was it up to me to accommodate them due to their inability to plan ahead, and the Mother paid little attention to them the whole trip. You have to love the Arindell (sP?) personnel in SXM for their generosity........

The rules are the rules, whether we like them or not, and I make a point of learning and complying with them and the question is why bother when they're not enforced across the board. Oh, for the old AA Business seats on our preferred flights!!
