No, he wasn't. He was upgraded and ended up not sitting with his wife and kid. So the simplest - and most considerate - solution would have been for him to offer his seat to the displaced passenger and take the middle seat.

He said he offered at the gate and the GA said no, but they could have executed the swap on the plane.
