Given the long time frame, March 2012, and the number of changes occurring do to the merger, I would guess your odds are poor in retaining the exit rows (but not zero).

I'm not sure about that. On UA, that was the case.

But on CO, they don't sweep for non-elites - they simply move you to the new seats, and since the planes are numbered the same way, no change in seat assignments.

To be fair, not sure what will happen by March 2012, but OP only has to worry between February 1, 2012, and when he flies.
