I like this too, but I think the FAs should include elite status in the announcement (maybe they did when you heard it). In the announcements I've heard, the FAs have said that E+ is reserved solely for those who purchased E+. If such inaccurate language spreads through the grapevine to GAs and ICC agents, we could have elites randomly being denied E+ seating, as during rebooking in IRROPS (even when E+ is available), just like we currently see Q-UP pax being denie F seating (even when F seats are available).
