Charging extra Money.. I think this is another reason why

Surely if you have one booking for two or three people the seat allocating algorithm should be able to sit you together most of the time. Instead the airline uses a threat of separation to illicit extra payment for seat allocation.
It would be interesting to know if families are deliberately separated to incentivise the extra payment for future travel.
I just read about Canada airline charging $10-100 more to be seated next to family. They changed the rules to recentry after parents complained about toddlers and young children being seated by themselves, forcing parents to pay for premium seating arrangements, or risk their child sitting on their own. How ridiculous and money hungry
