I have done this about a dozen times in the past, and always got middle of the A group, or thereabout. Maybe I have just been lucky?
What is your guess, on a fairly full 5 hour long flight, whether I can get an aisle seat with position B 11? I am guessing I still have a decent chance of getting SOME aisle seat?
Two weeks before a flight is not very far out to be buying EBCI.
As for an aisle seat, do the math. How many aisle seats on a plane (depends on whether it is a 700 or 800) and what is your boarding position? Highly likely you can get an aisle seat, even with pre-boarders, A-listers at the end of the A group and families boarding ahead of you at B-11. Not everybody prefers an aisle seat.
I wouldn't have the slightest worry if I were you.
Let us know how it works out.
