I always appreciate your attention to detail...like I said, it was 3AM!!!

It didn't get much better until I did AA version of TTU online at aa.com and explained my dilemma and nice lady assigned me a seat today. Out of the five NW people that were involved in the e-mail replies snowballing back and forth, three of them gave responses that made it quite apparent that they didn't even bother to read the entire string. Becky had it second and did the best job, calling AA and being told that I could now go in and select a seat. But it didn't work and didn't get any better.
