When I used OLCI for my recent MUC-FRA trip in C, I could select a window seat (2A) in a row where 2C was already occupied by a pax who looked very much like a SEN if not a HON. Hence my doubt that this feature is really implemented in shorthaul C. Or maybe OLCI simply overrides all soft blocking (IT bug).
OLCI is the "enhancement" which diluted seat blocking to an almost gone feature. Anybody can override seat blocking simply by OLCI.
