4/10 MCO-LAX A32 and LAX-OAK A25
Bought EB 3 days ahead. I was surprised to get as low as A32 out of MCO. The flight was 100% full with plenty of families, as I expected. I had A16 due to A-list, and with only 3 BS customers I snagged the sweet exit row on a 737-500 (only 122 seats). We kept it coast to coast. There were 45 through passengers at Austin! The LAX-OAK flight was coincidentally also a 737-500, also totally full.

Contrary to my experience on April 3 (above), EBCI performance on April 10 was quite impressive:
MCO-HOU, Saturday-
EBCI: A25
T-22: B45,B46
HOU-OAK, Saturday -
EBCI: A27
T-22 (actually T-25): B15,B16
We didn't actually get the benefit of EBCI on the 2nd flight because we volunteered for a bump. Will be submitting for a refund...

A37 and A38? Really?
Kind of disappointed with this one. Booked my ticket when the window opened for tomorrow. Booked on 12/16/2009. Paid for EB on 12/16 at 1:34pm when I did the booking.
Just printed out boarding passes, A37 and A38. WN had better have alot of A-list and BS on my flight because there sure couldn't have been many people who booked and paid for EB before me.

EBCI results were as if it never happened. Five traveling. Only three needed EBCI as the other two will be in middle seats anyway. These two? At 24 hrs with standard OLCI they received A-53 and A-56. The three with EBCI? B-15 to B-25.
A total ripoff.

You should contact Customer Relations and request a refund as EBCI clearly failed in this instance.
