I'm trying to be proactive so I'm not that guy trying to get people to swap on the plane. Will Delta assign seats so at least one of us is with our son? Should I call them in case they are holding back seats? Should I pick the best remaining aisle and window seats to try to trade on the plane? Should I wait and see if people get upgraded freeing up seats? I have no status with Delta so I doubt we would get put in C+.
