Yes,sadly so
A few years back I ran into a FA who took umbrage with me over seating. On a return trip from HNL-LAX on a 757-300. We are a family of 5. Kids were 10,7&5 at the time. Wife and I had seats in row 7.
Kids behind us in row 8. We had the same seats on outbound. No worries, no problems, no hassles. All my kids are at least silver. My oldest is a gold. On the return the FA made us give up our seats and then due to the full flight separated my wife and me. I blew a gasket, I was wrong to do that, I spoke to the purser and captain to no avail. Bottom line, we are just passengers and sometimes happens. I did write UA customer service, explaining the situation in detail. Got an apology and a $250 voucher.
