I'm sure once wifey was in your seat and I discovered your new one was in coach, you would be out of luck trying to get her out.

This is why if asked to swap, I demand to inspect a copy of the other person's boarding pass to see exactly where I am going. No BP, discussion is over.

Just wow
If the OP’s got a boarding pass for F, the wifey with the Y boarding pass doesn’t have much of a case for winning the poaching game.
