So you agree the original request to return to his other seat had nothing to do with safety. So on what grounds was it made. The guy ultimately ended up getting tasered because of this decision by the CC to intervene.
You explain how his (and his family's) comfort, safety, and security were managed (as per JQ's CoC) by the CC dictating that he move to another seat. Did she take
all reasonable steps (as per JQ's CoC)? No other passenger except the one mutually swapped with, who had voluntarily accepted any change in their own circumstances, was affected in any way. The direction to him to move back to his seat was not based on anything except the CC's whim at the time. She took no reasonable steps. She didn't apply it evenly, She didn't apply it to the other passenger. She didn't make a big deal that two passengers had supposedly endangered everyone else on board by not sitting in their assigned seat. She went after just one, based on whatever floated her boat at the time. And that's bullsh*t. It then turned into a clash of personalities. Absolutely nothing to do with safety, just pig-headedness on both parts. Unfortunately, CC stupidity and intransigence is protected, while a passenger's is not.
