You are correct, but the ethical issue here is not mine, it's ACs.
How can AC have any ethics when after
five years they continue to sell (and promote) a knowingly defective product? How can AC have any ethics wrt customer service when they sometimes treat impacted pax and liars or moaners? And how can they have any ethics if they attempt guilt these impacted pax by making them feel bad about another 'value customer' getting moved? There's nothing remotely ethical about ACs behavior on this issue.
It may not have been your intent, but to me, your statement just reads as victim blaming, either by you*, AC or perhaps both.
*And No, I
don't mean the collective 'you' in this case.
