Do airlines actually bump people who are already in their seats? In all my travels I have never seen or heard of this happening.
Back in 2000-2010 I flew commut air 4-5 times a week and I often saw pax removed for weight balance after boarding on smaller planes.

I don't think having a seat assignment brings weight to keeping it....status and fare will trump mere seat assignment.
