Only like a 1 hr flight from south Florida to ATL so I said whatever. Ended up getting my original seat anyway since the child wasn't old enough to sit in exit row, and I showed my original mobile boarding pass to the flight attendant.
Guess you were lucky the GA screwed up the exit row requirements too. Really wonder why they didn't put the parent back one row and give you a new exit row companion.
