One could argue maybe everyone should be remapped to A and K leaving the middle empty, but that would break up pairs. I do not think same PNR or not is considered?
My experience doesn't match that at all.
For example, my first time on a 789 was when my YYZ-YUL was upgauged from a 320. I had 1D, and I kept 1D.
I had a really bad experience once on YUL-YYZ when a 333 was downgauged to a 321 and upgauged back to a 333. Everyone lost their seat assignment.
