Now if you complain to the airline & on FT about the way you were treated, do you think it would be fair if I jumped in and said that you had a false sense of entitlement for the period while you were seated in business. NO!
If you want to use an airline analogy, I think it would be more like:
You purchase a coach ticket
You checkin online and are assigned business class seat.
You arrive at the airport to check a bag and the airline informs you that you were accidentally given someone else's seat. (sharing seat's probably isn't allowed by the FAA)
You haven't boarded the plane, much less even gone through security and the seat assignment has already been corrected.
