I'd prefer to know what the deal is sooner so I can possibly even take a direct flight to where I'm going and avoid the connection on what's now a sub-par UA experience. I can see UA kicking off lower elites before GS/1K or higher fare folks

Should I be expecting a 1st come 1st served hunger games seat selection at checkin tonight or do they already have the lucky 15 picked?
i would imagine the system has already reassigned/remove seats for those with "invalid" seat numbers on the new aircraft.
