Is the alternative possible?
I have read the following sentence in a book:
"Why aren't you in your seat?"
Can I also say: "Why aren't you at your seat?"
I know it from working in a bank or at a bank. Here are both prepositions possible.
Thanks for your answer in advance.

I take them as follows: in your seat ~ seated in your seat at your seat ~ standing very near to your seat Maybe 'at' could be taken the same as 'in' in this context, but that's not the first thing that comes to mind. CJ
