The idea of it working as choose single seat and it offers deal is nice though.

Not sure it is 'working'. ATL-MCO-ATL all is greyed out(6 seats in FC going and 13 return). Can't choose/see anything but C+. ATL-ROC-ATL I can see whole map. Click into FC and it says "You have selected C+ please choose C+. Manage Medallion Upgrades".

2) I have C+ booked on a couple domestic flights and, I am able to see available seats in all compartments.

Not sure how this jives with everyone else's results on this but:
1) I have ATLBCN booked in Delta One and I cannot see any coach seat availability that DO show when going through the booking process.
2) I have C+ booked on a couple domestic flights and, I am able to see available seats in all compartments.

For my upcoming domestic SU flights I can now see all seats in the app whereas previously I could strangely see First, C+, and non-preferred Main Cabin but not preferred Main Cabin.

Looking closer I see different things happening. Flight home later this week and another domestic later this month I am in SU or RU. I can see all cabins.
Flight in September I am in SU and can see nothing but the C+ cabin.

Just booked a flight this morning for 4th of July week and cleared into SU which is fine, but I wanted to switch to MC on the return to sit next to my mom who is on separate pnr going to different city on final leg...had to call in, they wouldn't let her move up with me, but they switched me back to her...
Oh and it keeps deleting my FC ug request on the outbound which I'm flying solo...

I upgraded the app (iPhone) and it still has the other cabins grayed out on Delta mainline flights.
For some reason on my return flight this Sunday I got bumped out of my aisle C+ bulkhead seat into a Window seat still in C+. Since this is a connection carrier I am able to see the other cabins and noticed an entire exit row is open and selected the aisle exit row and it is telling me I can only select seats in my ticketed class of service

Data points: in the app my upcoming flights break down as follows:
1. nonstop cash ticket, upgraded to RU: C+ cabin is greyed out (and it's not full), but curiously I can see C- seats
2. nonstop award ticket, upgraded to SU/WU, can only see the C+ cabin (F/C- are greyed out)
3. same as above
4. cash ticket, upgraded to SU/WU, can see all 3 cabins on both segments
5. non-stop cash ticket, upgraded to SU/WU, can see all 3 cabins
6. cash ticket, WFBF, I can see F cabin but C+/C- are greyed out on both segments

it seems that inconsistency is the only attribute we can consistently associate with Delta IT

Delta...I travel with co-workers or family members on many of my trips and they are in different cabins...It is helpful to see whats open on the seat map as we move people to closer seats together...please add back this functionality

It's all just incredibly stupid. I still haven't heard a single convincing argument in 11 pages as to how this could benefit Delta and it really sucks to take this information away from their customers

This, I believe, is because you can use the seatmap to directly downgrade to Main Cabin but to get into C+ you'd have to request the upgrade from Main Cabin, therefore C+ is greyed out.

Also, some boarding passes have disappeared. And boarding pass for gate upgrade this morning doesn't appear - tells me to print at airport kiosk.

I'm a bit late to the party but I agree. It is just easier to purchase the F seat rather than playing games. If you book a few weeks in advance you can usually find a good F fare.

That'd be great if one's company allowed it and didn't require use of a travel portal to enforce the rules...
