The guy who got off the plane probably didn't even try to find out what happened - whether it was the airline or the passenger.

I like your method! Often I'll connect from a mainline aircraft to regional or vice-versa. Most of the time on the regional plane I'll select a seat in the first few rows. Next time I board the mainline aircraft, and I haven't been upgraded, I'll point to my boarding pass with 2B printed as the seat assignment and say, "Here it is in black and white! This is my first-class seat and I'm not budging!" Of course my next post will be from the internet lounge at the Federal prison in Denver!
