I don't disagree about elites but I think my point is lost here. If the plane reserves the rear of the aircraft for families or reserved seating it would give families that option to select 4 seats in a row, etc. As one of hte biggest complaints even on FT by families is Johnny at age 8 had to sit alone while pop was 12 rows ahead of him (and flight attendant did nothing to help). While this attempt will NOT work on flights to Orlando - most other non-Spring Break weeks could result in a happy family able to sit together if/when they don't or can't book their seats in advance.
