To make help her be more comfortable, to maybe run to the back to get some water, to do whatever, really. You think some strange woman they just moved to the seat is going to do all that? What if she's hefty and takes up 1.5 seats? And smells like a hobo? Who is that fair to? It sounds miniscule, sure. But why do they have to be separated for their flight? Because there's a 0.0001 per cent chance he's sitting next to a pedophile who simply can't resist the urges to rape someone on a plane?
I get what you're trying to say in that it's not really that big of a deal if you're alone, etc. But it's the premise. If sitting kids next to adult males is a no-no on BA, then that's a scheduling snafu by the front desk to let it happen in the first place and is not that guy's problem, nor is it his pregnant wife's problem.

Well in his situation I cant agree more with why he is pissed.... Totally reasonable.. The airline messed up for sure. Second time BA messed up, last year they wouldn't let buddy on because of his tattoos.
I agree with their position, yet they do need a new way to seat people so they are not asking paying costumers to move.
