PAPI, I would have let you have one of the blocked off rows in without any question. As you say, it wouldn't make a jot of a difference, all weights being notional anyway. I have flown flights for FR that have had the number one telling the pax that we need to move some folk arround to accomodate families with children, making it clear we aint going anywhere until it gets sorted, so please don't tar all with the same brush. Ryanir employ lots of good people, unfortunately, like many other airlines, there are exceptions.
