Uh, ok, then it's quite strange how I can call in at the 4 hr (more like between 4 hrs and 3:55) mark (which I learned here) and grab an F seat via the automated phone system and then select a seat on AA.com.
And to be specific.
1. I got my UG at the 4 hr mark.
2. the AA.com seat map showed 5 seats that had no one assigned to them.
3. AA.com would not let me select a seat.
4. The message was 'seat not available' even though the seat map showed it as such.
5. The message was 'not' check in at the airport
6. EXP desk said they could see the unassigned seats and could not assign a seat.
Based upon actual experience I have no idea about a 4hr airport control on seat assignements. I know at the 2hr mark all seats go under airport control.
