I thought BA charge for all seat selection unless one has shiny status, so how come it was free to choose in Y?

Is it a glitch or has policy changed?
As per the http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...icy-guide.html which is linked from the http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...dashboard.html sticky.

Who can choose their seat at the time of booking and change their seat at anytime up to 24 hours before departure?
Customers who have booked in F, A, J, C, W, Y
All customers who travel in First
Customers travelling on a corporate dealt ticket (using a BACCI code)
Premier, Gold and Silver Executive Club members and oneworld equivalents
Customers travelling with infants
Additional needs customers


So if you were looking at a full fare Y ticket, then that does indeed include free seat selection.
