Narrative:
During our initial climb out the entire right side; one row of passenger seats became disengaged; and fell back into the next row. The row was full; so we moved 2 of the passengers to the only 2 available seats left on the aircraft. We secured the row the best we could; to the base of the row in front using stretcher extensions. This stabilized the row for comfortable sitting during flight. Additionally; we informed the the 3rd unseated passenger that if turbulence occurred during flight we would move him to the jump seat; per the captain's direction and that for landing he would be sitting in the remaining jump seat. The passenger was a pilot; not for us; who used to jump seat all the time prior to 9/11. He was briefed in what to do in the event of an emergency evacuation.
