In the OP's case, they were in 4A and 4B and those happen to be the seats that are blocked on every upcoming PHL-EDI flight.

I do think though that the fact the OP is on award tickets is part of the reason AA isn't trying to fix it in advance.
I wonder if anyone can explain why 4A/B is consistently showing as blocked for this and other 757 routes. I randomly checked a BSB-MIA and MIA-UIO flight next week (both 757) and it also shows 4A/B as blocked on both.

Are they simply blocking these seats for pilot rest? If so, why was OP ever able to select them to begin with?
