We do not have to do this for 1A bec it's not considered an exit row.--although it should be IMHO. You can be disabled and sit in 1a no problem. Good to ease the boarding and deplaning process.. Not so good when you gotta use the lav.
I wish CO and COEX would sort this out. I've been told that it is an emergency exit seat (not unreasonable since it is opposite the galley door) and have had FAs ask me if I understand how that door is opened. I've also been told it is reserved for people with mobility issues. I don't think that's correct, though. I think those seats are 3CD. Sometimes it shows up on the seat-selection map as preferred. Other times it is the only "white" seat on the A side. It's my favorite seat, and I'd just like to know how to get a reasonable shot at it.
