Northwest is currently trying this on a limited basis..OFFERING a certain percentage of these sorts of seats for extra money...not MANDATING it. Other airlines, as usual, are watching closely, just as they watched when American started charging a fee for curbside check-in.
What some have predicted is that eventually the airlines might even start charging for checked luggage.

even crazier...I overhead folks on my flight talking about an airline (Northwest I think...) charging extra for bathroom usage! That is just absurd. I mean, what are they going to do...make it a coin slot or even better start selling pre-paid bathroom cards? jeez

Yes, we did.
And for a matter like this, one should better stick to the facts than myths. Northwest are charging extra for only a few selected seats on each flight - maybe 5% of them - mostly exit rows and perhaps one or two "choice" aisle seat. You still get lots and lots of window and aisle seats to choose from, without paying extra.
