Rear. So select a seat towards the back. If yours has row 19, don't select it as the overhead is filled with crew first aid kits.
While on the topic, AY was the launch customer of the AT7 which were custom ordered with a front boarding door so they could be used with jetbridges at HEL.
Before AA retired their AT7's they turned them sideways and had pax board via jetbridge into the rear entrance at DFW. If only AY thought about this when the new gate area was built.
