Agree

  • Basic seat selection used to be free
  • Nickel and diming passengers gone too far
  • Middle seats available at gate anyway
  • Principle matters more than slight inconvenience

Disagree

  • Twenty bucks beats middle seat misery
  • Long flights need that comfort investment
  • Airlines offer it someone will pay
  • Vote with wallet or accept reality
