As I stand at my gate in Atlanta today, an A Lister on a BS fare, i find myself questioning why those categories in the title can't board before preboards - or alternately why WN doesn't block preboards from the bulkhead.

I'm looking at about 20 preboards (incld. Companions) about to get on my flight and I realize that even with an extremely early number I'll be lucky to get an aisle before row 6.

(And yes, if I wish I should be guaranteed the amazing unlimited room exit row seat as this is the origination of this flight - but I'm going to have to run to a dinner as soon as we land and Row 12 puts me behind 66+ people getting off incld. -most likely- all the preboards.)

Just seems like if WN won't reserve seats they could at least reserve the bulkhead for their top flyers.
