So if someone wants to move to an empty premium economy seat after boarding is it going to be the first person to raise their hand or ring the call button? I can't imagine FAs being excited about one more thing to do before departure although it might increase the % of credit card application if they say something like, "If you sign-up for an Alaska Visa card right now, we'll move you to premium economy for free!!"
