By rule, all BE and standby passengers should be seated back to front, unless their status or employment contract dictates otherwise, and any seat next to a GS/1K members should remain blocked until it is absolutely needed to clear the list.

It's a very simple rule to initiate and makes absolute sense. In no way should a BE passenger be put in an E+ seat, especially with other rules in place that prohibit elite customers from seating companions with us who are traveling on different PNRs. It's just lopsided nonsense.
