Exactly. And you know what, screw people who want to sit together (AND any FA who thinks it's appropriate to bother another paying customer over something so trivial). Their lack of planning is not my emergency. Not when I booked and selected my aisle seat well in advance.
So I'm curious... what happens in the following scenario: I'm sitting in my aisle seat before takeoff, FA comes over and asks (or tells) me to switch to a new seat. The new seat is a middle seat. I tell them the airline can either IDB me with compensation, or I'm staying in my original seat. I suppose I could be arrested merely for insisting that I receive the service I booked and paid for (after all, it's a federal crime now to disagree with one of these power-tripping safety "professionals," right?)... anyone have positive outcomes to report?
