Thanks very much for this

I tried calling JL and they assisted me to get seat assignments (perhaps because I am Oneworld Sapphire) but gave Mrs Jrobin seats that were across the plane from me in one AA codeshare, and could not assign a seat in another AA codeshare. On the JL flight they also had difficulty assigning a seat for her. I suspect it was because she has no status.
Later JL called me (while I was on the phone with AA) and said I should talk with AA about seats on codeshare flights and not JL.
AA were able to assign seats on the AA codeshares on JL and even on JL41 on which the JL agent was unable to assign a seat for Mrs Jrobin.
