Yeah, sadly, due to the nature of Teh Bidness, we generally fly on last-minute purchases. Meaning that if there's a middle row, I'm probably in it. And not happy about it, either.
But I want it cheap and last minute….

Ehh, I'd rather have an assigned seat than standing around in a corral for an hour!

Still my favorite commercial of all time:
If I was a business traveler, I want to check in electronically, get on the upgrade list, and head straight from the "SkyLounge" (or whatever the airline calls it) to the boarding area, scan my cellphone and get onboard.

You want upgrade list you say? Fly united!
And YOU get an upgrade and YOU get an upgrade! Everybody gets an upgrade!

When I hear folks complain about their seats, I think of this Dr. Katz episode (Go to 03:55)

This would really suck for business pax - particularly those of us who work for government agencies and get put on the cheapest seat available.

I hope it's my company to be honest. They need less pitch to compete with Spirit, Frontier, etc. pricing structure. Their growth is insane and it needs to be checked before it gets out of hand.
SWA is also adding seats and rows as well.
Personally, I think a mix of a high end product (first class) plus a ton of el cheapo seats is a good way to go.

Eh, they could be floating the idea low key in order to measure what the response would be. Real news outlets tend to want to indicate where their anonymous source came from in order to give their stories more credibility ("a source at USAirways who asked to remain anonymous due to company policy against speaking to the press....."). After gauging response and deciding to move forward, they could then go to the real news outlets. Just a possibility, though. It could also be complete bunk.

.....At least until I start thinking about who is sitting in the right front seat.
Riding home on a certain regional airline yesterday I was a little worried about the front left seat too..... :/
