Probably an oversold PE cabin.

Very strange

Pretty sure something else was occuring.
Or is possible that some travellers booked through 3rd party and don't bother about choosing seats, something that my parents would do, just curious, do UA auto-assign seats to those not choosing seats at the time of booking? I know CZ, MU,AY, and TG don't.
