CO oversell F
I just bought a F ticket for two in February and could not get seat assignments - all the seats are taken in the cabin. It is the 2.15p SXM-EWR in February - could they be changing equipment to offer more F seats or did they oversell the flight?

The flight on 2/12 SXM-EWR is a 752. What's the equipment on the day you're looking? It may not be oversold but there could be seats blocked until check-in. Did you call CO?

+1. Should be easily resolved w/a phone call.

Your flight is not overbooked in F. CO blocks 1A and 1B for pax with special needs. They will sometimes assign them to you if you call, although they may say you will have to switch seats -- to another seat in F -- if someone else needs them. In any case, you can choose them during OLCI.
