Flight 882 PDX - ATL with connection to DCA on M fare = seats 10B, 10C, 11B, 11D, 11E, 12B, 13B, 13C, 13D, 13E, 13F all blocked.


Same flight 882 with connection to BWI on B fare = all unoccupied C+ seats (except 10B & 10C always blocked until boarding time) available.


Same flight 882 with later connection to DCA on B fare = all unoccupied C+ seats (except 10B & 10C always blocked until boarding time) available.
Seems more like a system error, than policy. DL wouldn't knowingly give up revenue for upsell.
