  1. OLD: Everyone wanted the exit row to get the little bit more leg room, despite the inconvenience of no overhead locker or floor storage space.
  2. NEW: Carriers realise they can charge for this. Yippeeee, we're making more money.
  3. SLF get wise that, in a recession, you can save money and just sit in a regular seat.
  4. Some a/c on some routes may now be departing illegally.
  5. Carriers must move pax into the seats for free to be legal.
  6. When the recession is eventually over (several years yet) pax may baulk at then being charged for that which they had as free. Just like it was before.
I do love the laws of unintended consequences.
