Seat 1A online check-in question

Does anyone have any ideas why at Online Check-In 1A is still blocked please? Im seeing on ExpertFlyer that it isnt taken and have reloaded etc, so not a case that someone has selected it at the same time I was checking in online.

My understanding was that its blocked for Gold (Im now silver) until OLCI opens.

Not a major issue and 2A on 787-9 really isnt a problem, Im just intrigued as to how the system works. Many thanks!

It's a funny one with the 789. As Gold I've had 1A or 1K blocked even for me...

Edited to add: Just did a dummy booking logged in to make sure it "knew" I was Gold and both 1A and 1K are showing as blocked even for me.

On my last transatlantic F flight, I was in 2A, and 1A was crew rest.
