That makes perfect sense! Thanks for your answers!

Just wondering: Is there any reason that someone who did not purchase a Basic Economy ticket would not choose their seat at the time of booking?
And: Should I be nervous that the flight is less than half full (74 seats sold/80 available)? Is there a chance that they would cancel the flight because of that?
