Can we presume in such a case, if it is the case, that the offer to re-accommodate was for both him and his companion? After all, they only needed ONE more seat, or so it has been reported.
At least one report I've read states that after the first couple volunteered (thus two more seats needed), the third person to volunteer was indeed the doctor's wife, the doctor himself only refusing once he realised that the flight they were going to put them on was the following afternoon, not later on the same evening.

So I assume that the woman seen running down the aisle after him is indeed his wife.
