You actually can request an "aisle seat" on their website, just not which seat. My aisle seats were assigned within 24 hours and I was able to see them at both, checkmytrip.com and AC.com, but I couldn't make the change w/o calling AC where I didn't have a problem at all (for all three trips I booked
).
FWIW, if you go back and re-request a seat after it's already been assigned, the following message appears:
Your seat requests have been sent to the airline.
Please contact the airline directly for confirmation, change or cancellation of your seat assignment.
