never mind ... Finkface was faster on the draw (she's probably on a real computer whereas I'm on my iPhone)

Missy, I mentioned this in another thread but I'll ask the question here. Since all these changes, I was kicked out of some of my seat assignments. I called in and it was supposedly fixed but I am now getting 3 different results depending on where I look:
1) on the booking page, it shows us in 3D/F, which is also what the rep told us we were in
2) when I view the flight seat map from my reservation, it shows us with no seat assignments at all and no available seats
3) the app shows us in 3A/C
It has been like this for over a week so I don't think it's a case of the app 'catching up', plus I have refreshed it, taken it down, etc.
So my question is, why is the app not in sync with the website, why are we showing 3 different seat assignments (and no seats in one case) and how do I know which is correct? I have a bad feeling we are not going to be able to OLCI and worse, that we likely don't have seats at all, which will be a big problem as the flight is full.

Maybe I missed it in the other thread - do AA elites have any access to PC without a fee? Currently I get free exit row or row 6 selection. Have to use row 6 now that we're travelling with a child. Am I booted from that now with PC unless I pay for it?

On flights that are NOT configured with Premium Class, row 6 is part of Premium Plus, and available to American AAdvantage Platinum members, and American AAdvantage Executive Platinum members

Be careful with row 6 depending on how old your child is. You can't sit there with a lap infant because of the seatbelt airbags.

I don't want you to waste time on this if it is a normal thing when it seems you have a lot going on right now. But if you are interested from an IT POV as to why the 3 views are different, I'm happy to send you screen shots. But if it's a normal thing, then I won't worry about it. I just thought if it could be synced up, it would help when it comes to OLCI.
