At most, US airlines might block out certain seats in the seating map to try to encourage social distance, or sell fewer tickets per plane and re-assign seats to spread people out, but I doubt they'd spend the money to physically retrofit planes.

Though as long as flight loads are under ~30%, there's probably enough room for people to spread out themselves. I guess part of the question is just how long these low flight loads will be regular.
