When I rebooked, the DL agent had the KLM-o-matic auto-assign a seat because everything was blocked. I was auto-assigned 12F on a 772, which is an EC seat (aisle no less). Anyone have the ability to read the tea leaves if it will actually stick?

The KLM website is showing the seat as confirmed, but no option to change seats, which I guess is due to it being ticketed as a DL codeshare. In past experiences I have learned that even KLM.com says confirmed, it may not mean all that much.

I will report back with final results, but being 6'6" I realllly want to make sure I have an EC seat if at all possible (especially since AMS-ATL is 90 minutes longer than AMS-DTW). Any upfront guesses or past experiences appreciated.
