Seat Choice Inadvertently Moved....Again
 

As an AA Gold (flew enough to be Platinum but did not spend enough $$) my seat choice was moved when I went to check in on-line. This is the 3rd time I have been relocated from an isle to a window without being consulted . What is going on?

Thanks for the counsel yoshi212. I am aware of this occurrence during equip change but this is the same 321 configuration. At least it appears to be the case.
Vendetta is accurate. UA doing same I hear due to spend qualifiers. Corporate insists I buy least expensive fare for obvious reasons. All I really care about is no middle seat and securing nonstop service. Nevertheless this seat change w/o consulting is annoying.

Welcome to FlyerTalk.

AA has been making a greater number of equipment changes and substitutions due to the airline merger and deploying aircraft that were previously only scheduled on legacy AA or US routes, due to the refitting if 737-800 and A321-200 aircraft to the densified Oasis standard and the grounding of 24 737 MAX 8 aircraft. And unfortunately, AA isn’t good about retaining seats or seat types when these changes occur, though they say they’ve improved their software - and they certainly don’t notify or consult with passengers. Many of us check our bookings for seat changes a week and 48 hours in advance at the least.

By the way, you can expect this thread will be moved to the American Airlines | AAdvantage forum in the near future, with a trailing link left in this forum.
