I don’t know all the facts of this story but it sounds like he asked at the gate to be seated with his parents and was refused. if there had been open seats they probably would have granted his request. Yet, he got on the plane anyway just assuming that he can do what he wants, he was already told “no” and then was told “no” again. He should have sat in his assigned seat or got off the plane voluntarily. My question is, if he was so concerned with sitting next to a woman, why didn’t he just switch seats with his mother?
