Row 12 is not part of the elite prebook seating area. Row 12 was blocked on the 139/320 a/c to allow for disabled and family seating with bassinets. Then AC went and reconfigured the planes and brought in the curtain divideres. However the original block on row 12 seat selection remained.
On the 762 and 763 a/c, row 12 had bassinet position and was not considered part of elite prebook section. However anyone could book these seats. Note the middle seats on row 12 were part of Elite prebook as only th 12AC and 12GK had bassinet postions.
One the E75 and E90, 12A 12D and 12F are elite prebook but 12C is not.
To get your family prebooked into row 12 munerous rimes you must have been flying the 763 transcon. Either that or this was a 23:59 OLCI and moved everyone into the now available row 12.
