Pre Board
Question: I was commuting (in uniform) and my wife was tagging along as a non rev. The gate agent let us pre board! We went down introduced our self, thanked for the ride, chatted a bit with the mid cabin F/A while we were putting our bags away in the emergency exit row. Got all settled in and the same F/A turns to us and says we can't sit there as a pre-board after she watched stow all the bags. Is this true? Pre-boards can't sit in the emergency exit row?

They do it so people in the A group who have paid have the ability to sit there.
That being said, you can always ask the FA .

It's a two pronged deal. One, it keeps the crippled folks out of the emergency exit row, two it preserves the EE row as an option for the guys that either paid for or was awarded A1-15.
The bad part is that it restricts JSers who preboard from sitting there. They are arguably the most capable and well trained people in the plane and the folks that I personally want there.
You honestly lucked out that the ops agent let your wife preboard. They did you a solid. My wife doesn't get to preboard with me usually, and I work there.

I hope I didn't come off as ungrateful when wording my question, I very much realize and appreciate the privilege.
Thanks!!

Thanks for the response, absolutely makes sense. As far as the wife preboarding, I knew very well the ops agent did me a solid...thanked him very much for that.

if I am with my family however I will try to for toward the back mostly due to the ease of getting seats together.
