The comments on the post are fascinating. Several suspect the video is a con and he paid for the J seat all along. This seems most logical, especially since I'd assume if they were going to upgrade him from Y they'd put him in premium economy and bump someone forward from there if necessary. Although it's not clear how he would have gotten cabin crew to play along at the point when the FA says she'll go look for someone to approve a seat change. He's also got some people with disabilities angry at him and with good reason. Fakers do make airlines (and others) less willing to accommodate those with legitimate needs.
