by the way, right now, wife and I get the LUV seats 90% of time. Maybe no longer?
The article states that everyone will be assigned seats at check-in if they didn't pay for seat selection beforehand...
What happens if you choose not to pay for a specific seat? At the 72-hour mark, you would be able to state your preference for the type of seat you’d like, whether it’s in the front, middle, or back of the plane, and whether it’s a window, middle, or aisle seat. You could also then state whether you prioritize sitting next to your travel companion, or having your preferred type of seat.
Based on that, you would then be assigned a seat. If you don’t like the seat and want to change it, you’d have to pay a fee to assign a specific seat.
