It's not that we are prioritizing the timing of asking for the swap over the possible merits of it -- it's that the temerity of doing the swap before even asking is so offensive and annoying that it short circuits any further consideration. Wait by the seat and ask nicely and I'll probably agree if it's not a substantial downgrade. Actually sit in my seat before asking and I'm not inclined to listen any further.
