I'm skeptical of that.. maybe if the reports that 1Ks in BE get E+ more than 50% of the time hold true.

Even without EBCI on WN, I get a window forward of the wing 100% of the time, and with EBCI Row 1 about 70% of the time.

If you include the free drink and snack for 1K, maybe, but I'm looking at sub-500mi routes as for a longer domestic flight I'm paying for F and not considering WN anyway.
