yup, that's about it-just keep religiously (n.b. religiously) checking your itineraries daily during the last 2 weeks before flight time to see if your seat(s) have/has been changed as if you catch it in time, you can a) hopefully get a better seat than the one you were "re-assigned to" or b) depending upon how bad your new seat is, and if you get a good agent, you might be able to get a re-route/new itinerary out of it. i had that happen on a m/r and actually was able to get more eqms based on the new itinerary (with all u/g's intact

). it's a true ymmv situation but it never hurts to ask

I assumed he was an Air Marshall, because I was the first person to board the aircraft, and he was already seated there when I got there. Don't think he was a non-rev since he was wearing t-shirt and jeans. Again, I could very well be wrong.
I usually take 13J on this aircraft.
your assumption is pretty much correct
