I am BA Gold (or silver depending of the year) and on a BA or IB flight I would be able to select a seat for everyone on my booking.

Is this the same with CX or only for those with status?

On a recent booking I got the following:
- If I entered the OW status of my partner and I, I could select any seat in economy (including front row) (One of us Saphire, the other Emerald)
- But if I only entered mine and not hers, not only was I not able to select a seat for free, the front row was not even available to be booked (even paying)

I would like to travel with my sisters that have no status but it feels like then we won't be able to select a seat at all!
(this is all for cheapest Economy fare - as thanks to status I get most benefits like luggage, seat selection, etc.-)

Thanks!
