If you check the seat map, there are many unassigned aisle seats. Additional UA may have block seats for this auction (and the 47 travel agents who are in a lottery).
Who knows what seats this auction will get you.

Doubt there are going to force you to board early.

Maybe there is some contractal required minimum number of seats for NZ for SFO-HNL flights ????
