I'm no longer a B6 virgin, but I feel like I decidedly ended up playing bottom for my first time. I think I'm going to happily be a B6 ace going forward (notwithstanding the Mint situation).
(To be fair, paying $117 for the ticket is a decent price given that I bought it about 25 hours out, but it still feels like a crappy deal all things considered, and the idea of paying $40-50 for a [nominally, as it's still 3-3 on an A320] better seat which got dished above doesn't feel like much of an improvement. Basically, they have a product which works for something like BOS-LGA but which does not translate well into ORD-JFK and which really only worked MCO-RIC because of an equipment swap.)
You paid $117 for a seat a day before to takeoff and got a middle seat in the back of the plane. What did you expect? If not you, a passenger who paid a pretty low fare at the last minute, shouldn't sit in the middle seat, who else should?
I suspect your experience would cost more and be less pleasant in the vast majority of comparable scenarios.
