The CoC has a link to a separate page which it states governs the terms for preferred seat selection. This page includes the following bullets (bolding mine)

  • We make every effort to ensure you get your chosen seat, but seat assignments are not guaranteed.
    • We reserve the right to change seats for operational, safety or security reasons.
    • You must check in at least 30 minutes before departure and be at the gate 15 minutes before departure or you may lose your seat.
    • We will attempt to assign children under 15 with at least one adult they're traveling with.
I make no distinction between booked class, instrument used, etc. Do not put words in my mouth. Seat assignment, regardless of how you came to have it, is not guaranteed. Period.
