Having read up on this, I've just gone back into MMB and checked the seating options again - all of which show us still assigned to exit row but the other exit seats which were all available at that time are now greyed out. Of course this could mean they are already assigned however having read this thread I suspect this is not the case and would grey out if we moved and then tried to move back again. I have no intention in putting it to the test in the name of social experimentation
