Directly, yes.

However, as a Gold (Emerald) you can have BA TCP the bookings and send a request to Seating Control for her to be assigned with you. This doesn't apply to anyone else (the TCP can be made, but the Seating Request will be rejected or ignored). You'll need to get in touch with the Gold line and ask.
