Blocked Seats but Empty Flight

[kurtislee09]

Hey guys hope you’re staying safe under the current situation. I just have a quick question about my flight (that I’m actually on now). So I’m booked on QF922 up to Cairns and when I checked both the Qantas seat selection map and Expertflyer, many of the seats were blocked. However, when I boarded the flight, those blocked seats are actually empty. Can anyone explain this situation?
Cheers

Balance and trim perhaps?

Social distancing by computer.

The correct answer is 'trim' - weight and balance for the aircraft.

My guess is social distancing...4 square metres per person, crew and customers

You can't do that in the coughpit....

Currently waiting for my next flight flying in 717 J. The seat map says it’s all full, I’ll see how will it be once onboard

Will masks be of use?
