I was told roughly the same order, and I feel invoking a seat change after being first to board would he alot less confrontational than after a nonrev settles in. 4hr flight not a big deal, 16hr flight huge deal.
Heck, yesterday we 'lost' seat 7G7K. The concierge told us they were just talking about us and needed us to switch with a nonrev since one of the seats was broken and would not go to a lie flat position. Hmm, maybe we were the ones trading TO broken seats.
