AA would rather upgrade crew than a paying customer with elite status. Even after a 2 hour delay. Your loyalty is appreciated. That is all.

Cmon op.. they have a tough life and the pilot’s seat isnt too fancy. Let them enjoy a bit. Just saying...

Probably because they know it would be a problem if people saw the crew member walking back to an economy seat and realized that's why they were delayed

They do fly more than you...just saying

Agree with BA1... if there were still people on the upgrade list fine, but if you didn’t request the upgrade you aren’t going to get it. No issues with crew occupying those seats in that event.

like

Everyone boarded then the FA was asked if they wanted the seat. They were sitting right next to me. Oh well. I will remember, but it won't really matter.

As they should

Maybe there was no one else on the upgrade list?

...maybe they just had better status than you?
