I would like to think that they would be more inclined to move a *G or even *S into E+ than some non-status flyer..
Yes I thought that too until UA taught me different.
Had 'lovely' longhauls wedged between spring break students
who seemed to have never seen a metal tube that flies.
Or between flocks of young families who triggered the sympathy
of the FAs and hence had to be moved to the front of the plane.
So E+ is at the mercy of the moods of the crews and the GAs
