Actually this is not true. There are 2 separate sections (at least at all the locations I've rented from). However I doubt that the checkout booth would say anything if you choose from the Executive Aisle while only being an Emerald Member. (In fact the booth agent probably wouldn't even know which aisle the car came from so they couldn't even challenge you).

In my experience the Executive Aisle usually has slightly better cars than the Emerald aisle but in fast moving locations at peak times where they can't stock either aisles fast enough this isn't always the case.
