Honestly? Because they can. They don’t seem to have a problem filling them, same with UA.

If people turned away in droves and stopped flying AA entirely because they don’t block middles, AA might change their mind. But clearly there’s a sizable demographic that doesn’t really care about that.

Honestly, I think the bigger question is why is DL (and the others) still blocking middles? Do they think this is going to generate goodwill amongst customers beyond the time they start opening middles back up? I somewhat doubt it.
