Just flew the return leg of another DL RT. I got my favorite exit row with recline window seat (I seldom recline, but I do like having the option!) I did OLCI via the Android app and got a middle seat, but checked in about 90 minutes before my flight and all 12 exit row seats were available. That is 5 for 5 in terms of getting exit rows. I could get used to this!
Oddly enough, three of them were empty for the flight. I believe those were the only empty seats on the plane. I don't get why other people don't go after these seats...
