If I do a dummy booking using my current status I can select a premium seat. When my status expires would I get dumped out of this premium seat?

Also, if I use my CO Gold to reserve a premium seat and at a later date change my FFP number to my BD number would I be bumped out of the premium seat?

I realise seat assignments are not guaranteed and could be changed for a number of reasons but maybe better to guarantee a window non-premium seat than get moved from a premium seat into a middle seat due to status change/FFP number change.

Thanks

If you already reserved a Blue Seat in front of Y, or the Exit Row, they will NOT throw you out when your status evaporates. I am not sure what this means (Also, if I use my CO Gold to reserve a premium seat and at a later date change my FFP number to my BD number) but you will not be shifted out of your seat unless you cancel your ticket.
