A little while ago on a Jazz flight, the FA acted very inappropriately when asking me to change seats.

I had paid for a comfort fare when booking the flight, and so I was entitled to a preferred seat (window seat in row two).

The FA thought it would be a good idea to very loudly ask me in front of this man if I would change seats with him because I had the two seats to myself. It was beyond embarrassing because she put me in a position where I could not really say no. A simple solution would have been to quietly ask me if I could, to which I would have replied no thank you, but unfortunately this was not the case with her.

I am still considering writing AC about this, but it may not be worth my time.
It's too bad you couldn't have said NO in a way that would have embarrassed the FA.
