Uh, no. It has never been that case , and its impossible to do that.

If a delay happens, and an agent contacts the elite member and sees the note, he/she can then advise and adjust the booking accordingly. But if the computer does it, there is no way the computer will 'read' the TCP remark. That is why when flight changes occur, you find yourself seated away from your companion.
