I called UA and they could not assign my seat either.

Is this something new for saver awards ?

I cancelled the reservation as I'm not going to get stuck in a middle seat in the last row for a flight I booked 11 months in advance.

The only thing I can think of is AA and DL don't have their schedules out to June 2 so maybe UA opens up flights but it's too early to pick seats and I may be able to pick seats next week. The agent said I can pick seats when I check in..
