It makes me wonder if 19A really isn't a preferred seat. No underseat storage, TV in the armrest and the seat being right by the bathrooms are all deterrents IMO. Sometimes the extra legroom isn't worth it...

That might have only been on the 767s that went to Rouge in the beginning, which had the extra crew rest bunks iirc. The remaining 767s have under-seat storage, TVs in the seat in front and just a galley next to them, though people assume there are lavs there.

Probably the only negative to note is that the tray tables are really wonky and don't usually hold their position when opened from the arm rest. So if you plan on watching/typing maybe pick a row with a seatback tray table!

I think it will be a good seat for me, although I know I'll be a little annoyed with having to stow my personal item during take-off/landing - not to mention the added 'pressure' of saving everybody on the plane if we crash land somewhere!

FYI. When printing off AC boarding passes on LH card stock, the boarding zone for the AC flight shows up correctly on the LH issue card.

I can see it now ... Zone Boarding: The Extreme Edition Thread
And yes -- as I boarded I was hoping that I might meet the magical mythical @Sean Peever Oh well, maybe one day.

Nope, just using it for eating! I was more concerned with making sure the on-demand TV was in the seat-back in front of me.

Two recent reports from a friend, he got Z1 without being SE (Y only flight) which normally gives one Z2 at best. And family got Z1 on Domestic Y flights without status.
AC IT release an update?

I just boarded in BOS. Lady pushes to the front with her E50 card in her hand, they let her board with zone 1. I guess she's in J - wrong, row 12 inY.
People wont change their behaviour if they continue to get away with it. Shame on the GA in BOS.
