I am OW Ruby. When I booked my tickets, it seemed that all the available J seats on QF008 was available. I was only interested on the lower deck as I had a bad experience with a FA last time I flew on the upper deck of a 747.
Of course, I won't know if I get to keep my seat selection until I board my flight.
