+1 Blocking off the front part of the plane and trying to get people to pay extra for it is somewhat incompatable with seating people together. I really applaud AS trying to do so, but it (a) needs to be a voluntary move, and (b) can't be to a less good (here E+ to E-) seat. A downgrade to let people sit together is NOT cool....
