Many would say, with some justification, that trying to "keep air travel numbers up" makes absolutely no sense while fighting a global pandemic.
We are not even trying to keep train travel numbers up, or bus travel - quite the contrary with social distancing rules still in place.

Um, I think FR's entire operation is profit-driven, it's a business. We either nationalise or subsidise airlines (see bus, trains above, noting that in the UK the entire railway industry is now effectively nationalised as a result), or they have to be profit driven to survive. They have to be profit-driven within the rules of course, which goes back to the purpose of the thread - are they breaking the rules or not? Let's see the rule the their seating algorithm is breaking.
