The middle seat empty is just a futile excercise for flyer’s peace of mind. It’s the whole “no one sitting next to me.” How is it any better when the seat next to you is empty, but 18 inches across the aisle there is a person and one in front/behind by about 32 inches?
It’s the soft illusion of safety that many people seem to need. Delta and the middle seat is a marketing tool, like “free” bags on SWA. Some people are smart enough to realize it’s marketing and some aren’t. Some need the warm and fuzzy.
