Michael, the difference is that AA and DL have some special relationships with Alaska. Air France and Alaska don't have the same special relationship (Alaska is not a Skyteam member).
You'll be eligible to select exit row seating during the online check in process or any other seat in the cabin that is currently restricted and not available. If exit row seats aren't available during online check in, then I would ask the gate agent once you're at the airport. Sometimes better seats are available as elites are upgraded at the gate to first class.
