To move, or not to move, that is the question:

Upcoming flight in ~27 hours on 787 LH, Mrs CKBA (silver) and myself (gold) in Y bulkhead seats 21H and 21J rspectively, with 21K 'blocked' due to bassinet. Called BA yesterday to see about changing to 21K, but they said they couldn't release it.

So, at OLCI, should I move to 21K and risk an interloper sitting in 21J between Mrs CKBA and myself, or move Mrs CKBA to 21K in the vain notion that 21H will remain blocked since I'm still in 21J. There are >9Y seats still available... .

Previous experience has shown that if I change seats at OLCI it doesn't seem catch up with the blocking, so en empty seat seems to be an empty seat no matter what.
