This isn't new and AA isn't the only carrier that has "premium" seats.
I guess what is confusing me is that I just did this flight a couple months ago, and did not come across this "premium" seat issue. Can these become regular seats as prices adjust over the next few months?
I am looking to find C class availability using points+cash anyway, so maybe I will just book and not pick seats.
