Aw hell naw.
I’m Jewish, and I’d keep my butt firmly planted in that seat if someone didn’t want to sit next to me because of that. I don’t kowtow to bigots. Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile.
They can either sit next to me, sit in another empty seat if one is available, or take a different flight - paying all applicable change fees and fare differences. And those should’ve been the only options presented to these guys.
