To me charging for seat selection is like to making travellers bid against each other for the desirable seats, but if travellers collude and constitute a collective collaborative bloc, perhaps there will be change.
Isn’t the “seat assignment after check-in something that DL does for “basic economy” passengers on some international routes at least? That may create a rather interesting mess at close to boarding time, especially when there are lots of young kids traveling with fewer parents than there are young kids on the flight.
