As a frequent traveler on WN, I think this is terrible idea. My company recently switched to a corporate booking site and now I can buy any seat other than BS. BC of the frequency that I fly, I am 90% A16 which normally gives me the choice of an exit row seat (unless there are thru passengers).

Selling these A1-15 seats cheapens BS fares if it means a random can buy WGA fare + 40 bucks to beat me to my seats.

However we all have been in the situation where you miss you connection or fly standby and get C5 boarding number. I would like to see in those times that Elites get one of those unsold A1-15 seats.

Net/Net let WN charge what they want to make a profit if it means we keep the same perks like CP.
