My understanding is that Basic fares are filled from back to front, middle seats first.

Once all regular middle seats are taken, do they then move onto window/aisle from the back? Or middle in the more legroom section?
Logically any MCE seat should only be assigned as last resort. But AA's systems are always keeping in with logic and reason. However, given the flights I've been on where MCE is fairly empty while Y is completely full with butts I tend to think middle MCE seats are assigned only after Y is full.
