I assume this was because of an equipment swap from the 757 Domestic (24 F seats) to 757 International (16 F seats). If so, there were 8 other people in the same boat. Nothing personal.
What was your original seat assignment? I'd be curious to know if they downgraded you because you were seated in rows 5-6 or if they have some other algorithm.
