Seat choice available at check-in Online seat selection is currently unavailable, however you can call us to change your seats

Same screen shows seats on the JFK-LHR leg and possible to change seats on that flight.

What gives? I thought OW Emerald were allowed to assign seats at booking (which I did - exit row). If I need to call, will do when I am back in the States next week.
If you have WIFI calling, or can use Skype if you don't, then I would recommend calling the BA reservations number in the US
Skype doesn't charge for toll free calls in the US
I'd rather get seats as soon as I know about a change, rather than wait a week and find out my preferred seating is available.
