Sure enough, I had my pick of the primo seats that I could not get before, and snagged the first row of econo at the F bulkhead on all segments of my flight. This was not a full fare Y.

So YMMV but I WAS able to get preferred seats with my NW status.
Hmmm.. I'm guessing that I would need to call again to remove my NW number from the reservation. Does anyone know whether your frequent flyer number can be removed via the AS website?
