Can anyone comment on this? I'm asking because I'm currently in row 21, Seat D (aisle)

Thanks!
It's about AA squeezing as many seats on the aircraft as will fit, while dealing with then location of exit rows and lavatories.

See https://www.aerolopa.com/aa-airbus-a321nx (at AeroLOPA).

On the A-B-C side, between the wing exit row seats and the rear lavatory, AA only has room for regular economy rows.

On the D-E-F side, where there's no rear lavatory, AA has an additional row of seats -- and the two rows behind the wing exit row seats are MCE.

EDITED to add: Oops! I just saw that PHL already gave the same answer.
