Well, on my outbound flight, the middle and window people in my row arrived after I had been seated so I still had to move. No big deal. The big problem is that even though aisle seats cost more and we’ve paid for the privilege of stowing a carry on, by the time we’re allowed to board all of the bin space is gone. On both flights, all aisle passengers had to check their carryons. On my return flight, some of the middle seats also had to check their bags. Perhaps they need to rethink things.

Personally, liked this idea. Now feel there is no good answer to the boarding problems. Amazing how many people think that they have all day to board and stand in the aisles
