It must surely be nice to have the privilege of sitting in the "better" seats because you work in a profession where you can purchase them at a much reduced rate
I sympathise with your post. Very few pilots or aviation employees would be able or willing to pay the price for Business or First Class seats and travel as a company perk subsidised by full-fare pax. I expect most such full-fare seats are bought on company expenses anyway, with the beneficiaries not forking out their own money.
Back to thread: An unfortunate incident and an extension of the mentality that sees the entire cabin stand on taxi to gain a perceived advantage in the disembarkation queue. There's little that can be done to stifle these idiotic tendencies, I fear.
