I see your point. IME someone just hands you a new BP and says we have a seat change for you. Personally I've never tried objecting. However, there are sometimes posts from people who claim they decline involuntary CW>F op-ups. Maybe there have been cases of such people being forcibly moved, I can't remember.

Again, this is beyond my operational knowledge but I was trying to think creatively about what I'd do if I was in your (highly unusual) situation.

I guess the special meal suggestion is a good one.
