Doesn't this diminish the value of Business Select? Before the value prop of BS was to be at the front of the line vs mired down the list, maybe a jump of 60 slots or something. Now the difference between BS and wanna getaway+Early Bird is only the size of the A-lister list, which is on average probabaly an improvement of 5-20 slots (obviously very route and time dependent).
If the flight is an origination and an exit seat is a viable possibility, I can see where BS might have significant value. But on a through flight where we're talking about sitting in row 5 vs row 2....
