A few minutes later, another passenger (xxx, BG5 and BE) showed up with a boarding pass for my husband’s original seat (21A). I explained there must have been a mistake as my husband had the 21A seat assignment for several days.
Wait, what? I just re-read this, and I realized that you were fighting for the provenance of a seat that you'd already traded away. If there was an off-duty UA employee in 21A, and then someone arrived with a boarding pass for 21A... why did you care? Let the two of them figure things out.
