I suppose if I was the OP, the only thing I would have done was ask the GA how they managed to select that particular person in the C cabin - and loud enough for others to hear. It would have made for an interesting dialogue, I'm sure.
We all know no one (or very, very few people) on this board would have given up their seat, so the question is rhetorical. Hopefully the two posts asking the same question were not meant to be veiled personal swipes at me. I'm sure they were not as they both came from Moderators.

Again, the real play here would have been to send breakfast back to the lady.
