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.

Delta piloted this thought about 7 or so years ago.... note they don't use it. total failure and complaints up the a$$ aside from upgrade mix ups, it also brought confusion at the gate with "who's on first" and actually took longer because as usual people don't listen. Also the amount of complaint from the aisle seats was amazing as just about all of them never had their carry on anywhere near them. so who should be first off the plane in that row ended up to be the last due to the lack of having their carry on.
