The seat was overbooked, according to an earlier claim by Delta.
What do you not understand? The seat is being taken by a FAM and the US Federal Government requires any airline to release the seats to the Government. You as a taxpayer are paying for the seat for the FAM. The airline (in this case DL) can not release this data.

AGAIN, the OP has two identical seats, in the same cabin on the same flt on the same day two rows back.

I have been on flts in the past where a FAM boarded at the last minute and I was tossed to Y from a full fare F ticket. Stuff happens.

At least DL gave the OP a notice. They can not be specific.

OP -enjoy your flt and safe travels. Aloha.
