Other airlines, LCCs, are not doing this. Give it a few more weeks and people will sit in the middle seat for a $50 fare to Vegas.
Exactly. Big Daddy is going to get caught with their pants around their ankles with a decimated network and 60% load cap BS. If you're purchasing a ticket you know and accept the risk. Nobody is being won over with these 'optics' IMO. Just losing money and going to get absolutely gassed by the competition if they really plan to block the middle seat and load cap at 60% until the end of Sept. Even the most loyal of customers will jump ship if it takes them 32hrs or gets flat out denied trying to book an itinerary.
