Funny. Seat poaching happens a lot in E+ I think, but in row 15 of the 747, these seats are most often poached by FAMs a few hours or days in advance. And when they poach your seat, you're not getting it back! Unless you want to be escorted off the plane for "security" reasons.

EDIT (my previous response missed your point)

If I'm on the same flight, I'll call your bluff. I don't believe you will give up 4 SWUs in C for window or aisle, but if you will, PM me about some property opportunities I have for you in Florida.

There are worse things in live than middle C, and they are only a few rows behind you.
