That being said, BA did seem to recognize OW status when giving op-ups. I just never saw anything in terns of seat selection.
Maybe you never made yourself aquainted with the "Manage my Booking" function which allows you to select the seat you want to pre-assign yourself. Up until last week BA treated Emeralds with the same seat selection as BA Golds and Sapphires with the same as BA Silvers.

I have not yet had an experience of a BA op-up. I have had one upgrade but I can assure you it was not an op-up!
