Possible. For the traveling public, this could easily be a case of "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone".

Also, the surveys did not ask: Do you prefer assigned seats if you have to pay $30 for one or else be automatically assigned a random seat in the rear of the cabin?

Surveys also didn't ask: Do you prefer paying for an assigned seat that has less one inch legroom than the current seats?

But hey, a year into this project Elliott will be gone raiding some other company.
