Unassigned seating is sort of a differentiator for them. Interesting move:

They claim that the chaotic boarding system is faster… yeah, like when all the A cardholders want to sit in the front of the plane, and the latecomers have to wait for them to put all their crap in the overhead bin before they can board… besides… what if the plane crashes, doesn’t assigned seats make it easier to identify bodies?? (sorry, I’m in a dark place today).

Well then that would me for those who always manage to grab the front seats will then have to endure the fumes in the rear seats for a change.
