Ok, so, when they relabel the seats... how long until the seat maps on the app / web page get updated? I have flights booked for Thanksgiving that are on airbus and both show the new seat maps (with econ starting at 6)
Does the fact that my Friday flight still shows the old seat map mean that the seats have not yet been relabeled on that plane?

I'm shocked that AS just doesn't give a flying f*** about this yet. It has to be costing them some decent change in terms of vouchers the reps are giving out to everybody calling in about this issue. I'm not going to get too bent out of shape about it since I fully intend to call for a voucher every single time this happens. Not sure if there's any other way they're going to learn the true cost of inconveniencing their most loyal customers .This shouldn't be rocket science since it can't more than a handful of flights a day and really only a handful of seats that need to be manually reviewed

I have to Airbii flights coming up on Tuesday, so far I'm in 10C on both and watching the seat maps daily. Alaska could do everyone a service by blocking rows 16 & 17 NOW on Airbii aircraft, regardless if they are configured or not - and if its in an old VX config, then the gate agents have 2 rows for families and whatnot to play with.

As of now, AS1373 SFO-SEA for tonight is still showing the old seatmap -- coach starts at row 3. I'm in exit row aisle and fingers are crossed that it stays that way

The reply I got from Brad Tilden's office was that the transition has been difficult, it's not that easy to fix these things, working on a better solution, be patient...blah blah blah.
