An interesting scenario that taught me a lesson but may be helpful to others going forward. I recently booked a Wanna Get Away fare with points and added my wife as my Companion. I thought that if I added Early Bird we would be placed together in the boarding process. On the outbound flight it worked perfectly with A29 and A30 assigned. However on the return I also had Early Bird and checked in about 22 hours before our flight to check our boarding position and I was A44 and she was B48 so we had 60+ people between us. Since she and I always take a window and center seat this wasn't an issue but still slightly disappointing and I was surprised that it worked for one leg and not the other.
It is supposed to work the way you described it for your first trip, and regardless of EBCI, and fare type except that we know it doesn't work for Business Select fares only.
