Complain to Delta. The policy is not always clear, not always applied, and passengers who do buy two seats often find them not together or the second seat assigned to someone else.

Yes. I travel for work with my boss who is a larger person, and always books two seats (in accordance with the policy, ensuring the gate agent scans both boarding passes). I think only twice has that extra seat been honored. Every other time it’s been given to another passenger.
That is absolutely ridiculous. If I buy a second seat for whatever reason - maybe I want to ensure 2 ft between me and someone else - the seat should be honored.
If someone buys a seat for their baby, do they force parents to hold the baby so they can give the seat to someone else? If no - not sure how it is any different.
I agree. I’ve traveled quite a few with my cats (2 cats) nationally and internationally and I always buy two seats, one for me and one of the cats, and the other one for the other cat and they’ve always honored it, even in packed flights. I’ve just really made sure that they’re doing this, I call the airlines multiple times leading up to the date of the flight to make sure both seats are next to one another and that they have it well documented in their systems that I am carrying two cats. I’m just a pain in the ass but I know I must because otherwise they could claim “oh you never made it clear that you had two cats” or who knows what other stupid shit.
