Just checked us in for a trip we are taking tomorrow afternoon (NWI-AMS-RIX).

We're in the same PNR, and from what I can see we were the first to check in for both flights.

Our pre-allocated seats were something like 9D and 11A on one flight and 10A and 12C on the other.

Needless to say I did manage to move us into adjacent seats... but why oh why can't the system seat people together any more when they are clearly travelling together? This never used to be a problem in the past...
