Yes, for KA A33R( 3 cabin aircarft), elite status passangers in Y can pre-select J Row 16-18 after their Y tickect is issued.
However, I have never encountered Row 1-2 can be pre-selected for J passangers online.
I have on upwards of 5 occasions been able to select Row 1 (only the A and K seat available) on the 33R when it was selling as J. All of those times I was able to see and choose the seats on the CX app
months in advance.
Those flights were to/from FOC, FUK and KUL.
Same for CX's 77A/Hs for that matter.
