My guess is that all available PC seats become available to all elites (without a phone call) at T-24 during OLCI.
I have a number of reservations on file with seat assignments that will be PE if the aircraft is an -800.
I recently tried to change one of those seats within my 72-hour window - but the system wanted to charge me
$84 to move from 7A to 8A ... yikes.
The seat map showed that 7B and 7C were both taken, so I wanted to move back one row to 8 where the middle seat was showing as still open. I let it slide until OLCI opened at T-24, then was able to change my seat at no charge.
