I wonder if the check-in seat allocation algorithm will prioritise filling Y before Y+.

I'd think on many flights it will be filled by payers and P/P1 well before check-in, and Gold will be lucky to get a seat let alone anyone else.

For less full flights (rare as it is to see them these day), I’d expect to see a few middle seats blocked. Which will be a nice perk if it happens.

generally speaking that is likely to happen. Also because theres Plat shadows that stick even when the plane is 90% full.
