I have an AC fight in a few weeks YYZ to YQB and I am wondering if AC has a T-XX rule that opens seats to all and sundry like QF T-80.

The forward seats are blocked for selection on the AC website and I would expect as much as these would be reserved for AC and *A elites, I have zero status with AC or *A carrier (I would have if VA joined *A but I digress).

If they do open all seats T-XX many hours before the fight will this normally occur. I can see the forward seat are currently unoccupied in EF.

Thanks for any help.
