The FAs get a list of where all the non-revs are sitting. You'll get last choice when you are up front (first class) going international. I've never been passed over in the back, It seems like that would be more of a pain for the FAs. Haven't been in first domestically in a looooooonnnnng time, so I dont know.

Yep, it's overrated domestically, you are better off buying a $200 (or less these days) ticket. I could have driven from Florida faster than this last non-rev trip. International kicks ass though.
