There is one big problem with these statements ... and I'm not the first in this thread to point it out admittedly ...

The OP has two aisle seats, in my experience FC aisle seats go more quickly than the window seats, so it seems a higher percentage of first class travelers prefer them (as I personally do). Therefore I think there's a good chance one of the two folks sitting in either 2F or 4F will be glad to exchange their window seat for an aisle seat and there is no harm in asking.
