I've asked for like for like swaps a couple of times. Always asked never poached and when the "poachee" notices it's a similar seat, they've always said ok. On a flight a couple weeks ago on AA I got booked 2D and plus one was seated 4F, I asked 4D for a swap and guest thing he blurted was where are you seated. After I pointed to 2D which is probably better, he said ok. Funny thing was, his bags were already above 2D.
