EXACTLY!!! you said it! Nothing magic about 6 ft and as said on here already by many many people, leaving the middle seat does not provide you with the magic 6ft distance from the row behind you, in front of you, across from you or even the other person in your row. Delta is doing it purely for the optics of it(I say Delta because they are the 1 of the big 3 still doing it). People all of a sudden want to have a private jet like experience for a round trip ticket of $350 bucks from CLT-MCO. GMAFB, that an't going to happen. We need to fill up seats and lots of them to make money and keep 100,000 plus people employed. The guy who is a pilot *****ing about flying on us is ridiculous, takes a real class act to come on an AA pilot msg board and ***** at us about what a ****ty job our company is doing and how he hates flying on us. Great, fine, go f yourself and fly on Delta, *****ing to us isnt going to change anything, but then again thats not why he posted it in the first place. I am so tired of the pilot from x company telling pilots from y company how eff-ed they are and how their company is better. News flash, how supposedly great your company is has NOTHING to do with you pulling up the gear handle or that sweet crosswind landing you did in AUS.
