This "feud" between NW and CO about not giving each other's elites preferred seating has only one casualty - us, the FF.

Nonetheless, this crafty flier has found that if you book directly on the NW site, and use their handy seat map tool, you can select elite seats.

Anyone else have any other methods of resolving this "quirk?" I HIGHLY suggest that those of you impacted by this also write a letter to CO to complain about this situation.
