So, it would seem that anybody else who might have needs and already has the seat is a sociopathic cretin. That's certainly a very open-minded view of the world.
I was asked to move from a bassinet seat (on an overnight flight) to allow a couple with a child to take the seat. I refused, but the passengers on the other side bassinet must have agreed. The parents took turns holding the infant on their lap, they never once used the bassinet and didn't even fold it down. I'd booked my seat months in advance, I'd even chosen to fly on that particular date because that seat was available, I wouldn't have been happy if I'd given it up for these people.
