That's the first I've seen it! This part scares me.

Will the number of EarlyBird Check-in Passengers be limited on each flight?
No. All eligible Customers can purchase EarlyBird Check-in.

I wonder how many people will pay $10 extra for this? I wonder if the days of being able to get A boarding passes without paying extra will be gone with this?

With my family of 4, I'd certainly rather spend that $80 elsewhere on my vacation! I guess we may just have to accept that we may not be sitting together any longer.
