Wow, thanks for taking the time Troy.. that sounds a very plausible scenario. But this my point... I would like a regulation which states that an airline will always prioritise a child 14 and under to sit next to the accompanying adult. To achieve this the following in your scenario would have to give up their seats

Quote:
Couples obviously want to sit together so they reserved 2 seats side by side. A single business guy sees a row of 3 open and then the single seat next to the couple. Which one do you think he's gonna choose? He chooses a single in an open row of 3. This continues until the alotted number of seats, roughly 110, can be assigned.
There are a number of complaints about this on this site, which must be a tiny number of the overall times this happens. It should be given the same attention as the rights of people with disabilities.
