I'm thinking about doing this and was looking for feedback from the gang. thank you

Can EXST be assigned in exit row? Typically it is used for COS who may need a belt extender … use of which is prohibited in exit row. Also both exit and bulkhead rows have fixed arm seats … another contraindication for COS with EXST.

Wouldn’t surprise me to have it programmed to reject specific seat assignments… just like not assigning a young child to the exit row.
