Also agree. Knowing in advance I can select my preferred seat in most cases. In addition, I'm usually on connecting / multi leg itineraries. I like knowing if I've cleared and if there is a meal in F, so I can plan my airport layover. If I haven't cleared, I'll usually skip the SC and get food to bring on - I won't if I know ahead of time I'm in F on a meal flight.

In any event, the percentages are likely the wrong way round for a GM. I'd probably say I'd go DOWN to 50% if it was all Battlefield due to other GM/FO Irops pax booked in Y that skip ahead of me, and also PM/DM that change flights / SDC etc. at the last minute.
