On EF 40B shows as occupied while 40J shows as blocked. It looks like 40C has plenty of legroom, but it also looks like the bulkhead in front of 40H ends just to the right of the seat so there should be enough legroom.
The loads on EF appear light, so should I hold out hope that the block will hold and there will be an empty seat next to 40H?
Suggestions?
I believe 40J is a bassinet seat, which is why it shows up as blocked. I'll leave it up to you to decide whether you want to roll the dice on having a baby and his/her parent(s) in close proximity for your flight.
