This is a business class ticket and am a One World Emerald. Reached out to Qatar on the phone 2 times told not possible until plane is "under airport control" and American on twitter told me they put a note but couldn't choose a seat either.
Oh man, no idea about your problem but I'd be so frustrated especially for such a long flight and in paid business! Sorry...I hope you can get it sorted.
As an update to my situation, I just called AA, and yes, they were able to find my reservation using just the flight info and give me the PNR for my AA leg! (Which I then plugged into the AA website to choose a seat.) Thanks everyone for your advice! I had never realized that was possible to look up a passenger without a booking code. You learn something new every day.
