OK, also for safety reasons. "We have a VIP who needs your seat." is not a safety reason.

United is the airline pulling this $#!^. The problem isn't the regulations. The problem is United's execution. There is a reason why United isn't popular amongst premium paying and frequent travellers. I was avoiding their flights way before all this bad PR.

What if the VIP is a big fellow that threatened to start strangling people if he didn't get a seat?
