Filling All Seats in Planes

I know that airlines are hurting for business and that revenues are way down. I've read that if planes fly with the middle seats empty, they won't make money on that flight.

HOWEVER, announcing like some have, that they will start booking full flights in the near future dumbfounds me. Ah, there is a pandemic going on! Perhaps the most recent surge in coronavirus cases will deter them from implementing their idiotic ideas. And, I don't think the flying public is going to like the idea of flying on full planes. 

Watch for them to be backtracking quickly in the coming days.
