Except I would bet the employee said they could "probably" use the seat if it was open. Crew has the final word and no gate agent or ticket agent can ever say that crew will waive a rule.

Right. I can imagine it said causally and noncommittal. Like, "well, it's a possibility..." And Dad just assumes it will be fine because he knows (wrongly of course, because he doesn't understand how boarding passes work) that seat will be open.
Side note: Iirc, isn't there a rule or regulation about children under a certain age not sitting in aisle seats? For safety reasons? I can't remember...

They wouldn't be waiving a rule, its what is stated on Delta's own website.
Child restraint seats may be brought on board the plane in certain circumstances. For instance, if there is an open passenger seat in your row, you may place your child in an FAA-approved child restraint in that seat during take-off and landing. If an empty passenger seat is not available for your child restraint, the item must be checked at the gate by a Delta representative.

Children under 15 are not allowed in exit rows per FAA rules. They're assumed to not be able to fully comply with crew instructions in the event of an emergency, and under such conditions, a parent would first take care of their child rather than get the exit door open.

Yes. But what about aisle seats? Do you know if any airlines have guidelines about young children or car seats occupying the aisle seat? Or are those seats the same as every other seat on the plane? Aside from exit rows, of course.

The FAA recommends that car seats go into window seats, but I don't think it's a hard-and-fast rule.

Delta says on their website that car seats are not to be installed between passengers and the aisle. The window seat would be the most preferred location, but depending on the plane, the carseat can be placed in other seats as well. It just cannot block someone's path to an aisle in case of an emergency.
The more I watch the video the more I dislike this guy.
I never liked him. He always seemed like a self- entered jerk, who trying to manipulate the system to me. Not once in this whole fiasco did he ever acknowledge that he was inconveniencing anyone else. Personally, I was glad when they gave him the boot.
