Exactly. That is the main issue - along with the ICCs (just survived a debated
with US' ICC), novice call centre gangs in Eastern Europe, ignorance does spread
real well elsewhere.
So as it looks from official statements I and lech got, there is no seat
blocking. Personal experience of the same FTers and mag also indicate that
it may not exist for all.
But then the seat maps are a strong pointer that there is something to it. So is
the experience of the Flymaster, out moderator, RTW, ierax, and ulev.

This brings us back to the one basic question: did any of you who had access to
a competent call centre ever have the existence of seat blocking being confirmed
by an LH official? Any word from Kassel? Or any statement from the HONourable
desk in this matter?
