Its possible you were able to select Air China seats from within one of the other carriers websites. Some of the carriers systems are linked up pretty well. I pulled up my TG reservation and it gave me the option to select seats on Asiana (shares same record locator) and Air China (different record locator). Although it fails when i hit save.
Asiana seems to block almost all the first class seats, most of the business class seats and about 1/2 of economy seats. i didn't have much luck when i called their reservations phone number.
BTW thanks to whoever added the formatting to make the wiki easier to read. i tried a few things but never saved as they weren't very pretty
