Don't feel like you're alone!!
US Airways just did the same thing to us! I booked tickets and seats for 4 passengers 6 months ago. I selected seats for all 4 legs and PAID MY $1,650 to secure the reservation.
Today - they bumped our seats and "will assign at check-in". Of course, they ARE giving me the option to purchase premium seats (yeah - the ones I already paid for 6 months ago!!!) today if I want to assure our party the chance to sit together on the Cincinnati - Charlotte flight.
I think it's the only industry in the nation that takes a customer-last approach to business.
Oh well - guess I'll get up at 6:40am next Saturday to attempt to get seat assignments 24 hours in advance.
See you next week!
