Non-rev A-List and First Flight Loads

I have non-rev from United and wondered if when I am non-rev'ing on Southwest, does my A-List status let me board between A and B or am I going to be group C because of the non-rev. Not a big deal, I just don't see anything on this and was curious.

 

Also, with all of the standby shifting that occurs with SW's new rules, are you seeing more open seats on the first flight out than perhaps what is showing on Staff Traveler? For instance if I see 5 open seats on the first flight out, are you actually seeing 5 empties, 20 empties or does it totally vary? I assume a lot of people are trying to buy the absolute cheapest flight and then fly on a better timed departure but wanted to see what Gate Agents and FAs are actually seeing. Thank you.
