Correct, as MVPG+ you used to be able to select MCE seating at booking. Surprisingly, I also flew AS6543, AA1335 PHX-SJC last week, AS Marketed, AA operated flight and I was able to select MCE exit-row seats on AS. The AA flight seating map on AS showed MCE seating as available to choose for Elites without additional charge. $59 fee on AA website. It was a light load and the two of us had then entire 12 exit-row seats to ourselves.
