The flight was fine, and while I prefer to sit further up, it's really only a difference of a few minutes waiting to get off the plane, but this was all handled without any sort of notice or supporting information. It also seemed to mess up my boarding pass, as I wasn't assigned a boarding group (also not a big deal, but it further gives the impression that this is a really confused transition).
If I was in the Bulkhead and got dumped in the back, I'd be understably perturbed. Not only do you lose extra legroom and priority boarding, you also lose free drinks, which on a 4 hour flight is nothing to scoff at.
