Seems like a bit of a one way street they have gone down.
We've announced the middle seat ban will continue until next spring. We're banking on a vaccines.

I wonder if the middle seat usage is a leading indicator.

It's a binary response to an analog problem.....That's the true issue. Where does Delta draw a line in the sand. Yep they have plucked a date, but what of the conditions to make that change.

Delta is a very numbers oriented company. They will continue to do this as long as they think it gives them a competitive edge on business /corporate travel. Personally I think the policy will remain until a vaccine is available or COVID is not in the 24/7 news cycle. They seem pretty willing to carry this policy for the short term future

Ed the millionaire social justice warrior is at quite the crossroads

Does he spend the billion on reducing Delta’s carbon foot print or does he continue blocking the middle seats and increasing his flight’s carbon footprints??

I heard it was a part of a deep state plan to put Antifa trees in middle seats.

Given his tantrums over Hillary losing and his constant TDS, it wouldn’t surprise me.
I wonder if he is on board with Biden and AOC and their proposed trans oceanic train?
