Are these good seats to pick on HKG-JFK flight?
I have oneworld ruby ( via AA Gold ). Unfortunately I can't pick exit row as I am travelling with my kid and elderly mom. I picked the seats below but not sure if "P" means the seats have good chance of getting reassigned? Cathay says,
"Cathay Pacific Airways has designed a number of Priority Seats on this aircraft for passengers who require special assistance. Any passenger assigned to this seat is subject to reassignment at the airport if such seat is required by a qualified individual who needs special assistance."

I am not sure how you could select Extra legroom and Preferred seats as OW ruby. Maybe you paid for them or CX IT bugged as you need to be at least OW sapphire to get them for free.
P stands for Preferred seats not priority seats for special assistance. But 32HK are usually reserved for bassinet. If a family of 2 with a baby travels you might be kicked out.

AFAIK, P does not denote preferred seats or any special/better seats that only certain elites can select. It has always denoted priority seats and carried that caveat/warning OP posted, but how CX determines that they need to reassign those seats is a mystery, at least to me. I've sat in those seats countless times, including bassinet rows, and never been booted (except for op-ups 
).
).
