AC doesn't even give their lower tiers free access to preferred seating, and especially not on a Tango fare.
I have gotten E+ seats at OLCI repeatedly on W or higher fares.

Called 2 weeks ago to get seats on a resi with a schedule change; now a 789 ^ Took less than 5 minutes to get this done including hold. Considering I have no status w/ AC I think 5 minutes is not a terrible wait.
Agreed that AC needs to fix the seat selection on non-AC tickets, but it is not that difficult to get them assigned
