I'm not saying the sweeper wouldn't make a lot of other folks unhappy, I'm just saying, if you wanted to sweep, you could. UA is reported to do it.
I'm rather surprised the web site actually lets you submit it and that it would take to the reservation. Need a few extra checks and balances then, but I'll have to take your word for it as I wouldn't risk breaking my own reservation... Have you tried moving yourself up to first? Or giving yourself a seat that's already occupied? Scary....
