I have two itineraries that (one end of March, one in November) booked on CO flight numbers, UA Metal.
When I open the UA itin, I see the same thing (in both of my reservations):
Class: First (NF)
Seating Assignment: (E+ seat assignment)
Upgrade: Pending
Seems like a glitch, can't change your E+ seat assignment though because it opens a first class seatmap (which of course you can't select first class seats).
Is a glitch.
