He did move though.

"I said, 'This man is refusing to sit next to me because I am a woman.' At that point, another man behind ... offered to switch with me and the airline attendant said, 'Would you be willing to move? and I said, 'Absolutely not. This is ridiculous,'" she said. "I was without words."
Eventually the man was seated next to another male passenger and the flight departed.

I understand the initial outrage with the religious man 'refusing' to acknowledge her in trying to come up with a way to accommodate everyone. I also recognize her anger in being in that situation at all simply because she was female. That's fair.
I don't understand why she is looking for an apology from the airline. The man didn't request she move, it wasn't even the airline attendant that requested she move. It was a Good Samaritan who originally offered to switch seats with the lady. When she refused, they found a place for the religious man. How else should the attendant have behaved? Someone was willing to switch seats with her, why wouldn't the attendant see if that was okay? The airline staff did not inconvenience her, the religious man did.
