Need advice from the seasoned veterans!
My family will be flying direct to Hawaii in May on Alaska. 3 of us have a coach ticket, and grandpa has a first class ticket. The 3 seats in coach are together, and like grandpa, I am a male 
Here is the question... although I love flying, I do suffer from clausterphobia, and I'm a big dude. Grandpa has offered to let me use his F class seat, which should be helpful on both counts.
Nobody here is an Alaska frquent flyer if that matters.
Question is, when we board if grandpa just sits in "my" seat and I just go to his seat will there be a problem? Will they even know?
Thanks, guys!

As for a seat swap... do you share the same last name? They probably wouldn't know the difference, unless you let them know it, which could be a good way of doing it. But this shouldn't cause an issue as long as seat swaps are not happening mid-flight.
