SHENANIGANS!
If the flight is oversold, will even further shenanigans occur, wherein pax without seats will be placed in F in front of Elites?
8 blocked seats? Are you looing at a seat map? if there are 7 booked but 8 seats blocked, the 8th is probably 1B which is usually reserved for crippled passengers. it ultimately gets freed up.
Not that it matters. Nothing is amiss. If you don't want to fork over $39 for a guaranteed buy up, just wait.
