Cant Select Online Seats because its Eagle?

On a upcoming booking from CHC-HKK, I have not been able to select any seats, comes up that it is unavailable. I emailed the helpdesk to shed some light on this.


"Thank you for your email in regards to seating.
.
I looked into your booking and because the flight is on the subsidiary Eagle air you are unfortunitly unable to do the seating online"

So, because it's Eagle, I can't select seats? Really? Anyone else come across this?

Could be that your flight is operated by an J32

Yeah, I'd suspect it's this. Horrid aircraft legroom-wise too. I've never had a problem with seat selection on a B1900D.

Vincent hasn't operated any Eagle services in months. Eagle has 17 aircraft running a 12 aircraft schedule so charter aircraft are not really in demand.

The help desk response is a cop out! They'll be some I.T. issue somewhere. Seat select would normally be available.

On some of my Q300 flights they have blocked off seats on lightly-loaded flights to manually reallocate seating due to aircraft trim.
