Wait, what? If your place in line is already assigned, that's exactly what you don't need to do. In fact, I was just wishing this when I was trapped in front of two dozen G1 lice as my last flight suffered rolling delays for half an hour. I don't think UA should ditch assigned seats, obviously.
Exactly! Others on here are assuming I meant that United would get rid of assigned seating and implement line numbering. I'm suggesting United keep assigned seating and ALSO implement line numbering in the Groups, unless they come up with something better. If there are 20 first class seats on the plane, then Group 1-20 should be assigned to those first class passengers and then the rest can be behind them in the order they checked in or whatever.
