Seems like the odds of finding another passengers in non-exit row seats willing to swap for the same row position in the exit row would be pretty good, even on a flight from MCO. I'm sure the difficulty would be in finding them in groups of three. Hard to figure out quickly at the gate, but pretty easy once people start to board. Just find three adults together and
ask them to swap their seat for the exit row. Wouldn't have to ask me twice. Nor I imagine many other adult travelers.
