My first thought was DL probably received so many complaints from stupid people regarding why they weren't able to select an open seat or why the open seat was requesting more money to upgrade, this was DL's solution to fixing the problem.

I guess the question is - do the number of dumb people taking FCM offers outnumber the more enlightened? We will know if the full seatmap returns.
