I was just booking an AF flight on orbitz and got to the seatmaps and saw a funny thing.

In the last 10 rows or so of the 343, the rows were pretty much empty except that the E seat (left-middle seat in the four seat center section) was marked as occupied in every row.

Weird, huh?

I know seat maps are not really reliable, but it just seems like a weird pattern. Can anyone think of a good explanation?
