[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I will switch for aisle to aisle seat, or reluctantly aisle to window. But, I am not switching my aisle seat for a middle seat. [/quote]

Seriously?  You wouldn't switch to help a family with young kids that would otherwise be stranded for hours due to their flight being cancelled through no fault of their own?  Do what you want, but I find that really gross.  Of course parents should not take advantage of other passengers by intentionally scheduling flights where they can't sit with their kids, but circumstances come up beyond people's control, and for me, helping a family with young kids out is more important than the comfort of an aisle or window seat.

You know why I don't support this seat-changing crap? Because if the kids are separated form their parents and each other, they're quiet for the entire flight. If they all sit together, they forget they're not in their own living room.

Last time I flew, the woman on the aisle behind us traded her seat so a mother could sit beside her 6ish DD, instead of in the seat immediately behind the girl. Mom proceeded to ask inane questions about the iPad game DD was playing for the next 4.5 hours. "Who is THAT? What do you do NOW? What's HIS name?"

I am positive that if that woman had not moved, the kid would have happily played her game in silence and the mom would have shut the frick up.[/quote]
