Um, "up to 24 hours prior" can just as easily mean "within 24 hours" as opposed to "until 24 hours."
At
http://www.nwa.com/features/coachchoice/ it more clearly states: "Available within 24 hours of departure for USD $15. WorldPerks Elite and SkyTeam Elite members may select these seats at no charge." I interpret that to mean the seats are blocked until OLCI, which makes sense.
No mention of 36 hours anywhere.
I just changed to a formerly Idiot's Choice seat for a res 2 weeks out...IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!
You can select formerly RoachChoice seats that are now regular "P" and "E" seats. But you can't select current $C or $E seats unless it's within 24 hours.
Also: I note that at least on some flights (some upcoming DC-9-50 flights) it appears they've moved the RoachChoice Exit rows to the non-reclining exit rows!
