As long as adjacent is defined as "middle" - meaning not aisle-saving-another-aisle - then no one in the BS/EBCI/A-List crowd is negatively impacted.

The first person negatively impacted, in theory, would be someone in the C group. And each person after a certain point would basically be impacted by 1 row. (e.g., you'd get 17B instead of 16B)

One person saving one middle seat is a non-issue to me. Mr A20 or A40 or whatever doesn't want that seat anyway.
