EZY are quite slow to act on this, really, seeing as how BA, UA, LS, BE, FR and countless other airlines the world over all charge extra for the exit or bulkhead seats, low cost or not, it's a simple, easy money maker guaranteed to bring in extra revenue on any given flight. £12 is pretty generous, really.
Quit what took them so long, I don't know.
