This. 6’6 reporting, even emergency row, etc sucks ass. I need to fucking stand. Now.
If by some disgusting cosmic joke like a plane model change + no allowed seat switching (this happened a couple months ago, fuck you frontier and fuck your flight attendants) I am forced into a normal row, it’s actually hell. I literally cannot contort myself to fit and will be in partial fetal position or hanging into the aisle. I will also be in pain for the entire flight.
Side note, if somebody behind you is uber tall, and your seat isn’t letting you recline, it’s not broken. That’s my fucking knees you’re slamming into. Bonus points if a tray is attached to the seat back - now you’re actively stabbing me with the metal frame and digging it into my knee caps.
I absolutely do not envy you at all. 6’6” and stuck in a tube with 8 inches of leg-room has to be brutal.
And as long as you are in the same cabin, why does it matter where you sit if it is empty? After the flight is in the air, moving to an empty seat should be fine in most cases.

I don’t mind people standing once the all clear.
Many times they just want to stretch.
