I would hope though (once any kinks are worked out) pax do not get kicked out of seats they were able to select. And I certainly assume they will not downgrade to Y as the letter of the law implies.
Ending up next to a smoker? I would never have booked such a seat.
I sure hope those who shout the joys of Delta's revenue management team when ever Skymiles releases a new enhancement will not be hypocrites and come out condemn this practice. It does nothing for Delta's bottom line to block the seat next to the crew rest. It is downright silly to even propose such a thing as blocking an extra seat from being sold. With that kind of practice DL is down to only being able to sell 14 BE seats. 16 BE seats (-) crew rest seat (-) the seat next to the crew rest = 14 seats left to sell and airline with with misaligned priorities.
