You absolutely have the right to do this and clearly it is your policy to exercise that right whenever you'd like. Again no problem with that from me.
Aslo, I do not suggest that everyone considers such a seat change to be a mere "inconvenience". I do suggest that for a normal able bodied person with no medical reasons, that the difference between an aisle seat and a window seat in F is not a major difference. Clearly you feel that being put into a window seat is a major problem for you... given that this seems to be a choice rather than an absolute requirment (I base this on your saying that you may change given the situation of the father) which would not give any other option.
I think we will have to agree to disagree. Short flight + Disable Child with Parent... no hesitation to switch to a window seat in F vs. Aisle... for ME. Clearly you feel your personal comfort (or some other unstated discretionary reason) trumps the needs (or discretionary comfort) of a family with a disabled child. I disagree with that benchmark. However, of course as I stated numerous times, you have no obligation to use my benchmark at all... no issue with that. Just as I can comment that I don't like your benchmark as much as I like mine.
(Bolding mine). Why assume the reason is discretionary? You say above that you base this on my statement that I may change based on the reasons of the father, but did you see the part where I said I might change
flights and not just seats? You don't know my reason for not wanting a window seat (on what could be upwards of seven hours in a seat) and I should not be required to provide a justification to you or anyone else. My point is that it is not appropriate to judge a person who chooses not to change and not provide a reason.
