Yes I called Cathay. She initially said it was operated on AA metal and AA had to assign seats. When I corrected her, she said the seat map is "blocked" as it is an AA marketed flight.

This is frustrating. I know AA and CX are separate companies, but then why market such flights? I have no choice but to check in 24 hours and hope i can get a decent seat.
