Missing Seat 1B in a 752

I'm booked in FC (through EUA) on a flight from SJU-EWR later this week that is using an internationally configured 757. The C.O.O.L. seatmap shows that there is no seat 1B, and even when I spoke with a telephone agent I was told that there is no seat 1B on this flight (there is a seat 1A, however). Now, this seat is usually blocked, but when it is blocked it shows up on the seat map as an occupied seat. What's going on here? Did CO decide to remove seat 1B on that airplane

, or is the seat map screwy on both the website and in the agents' system?

I think the person posting this topic wanted to know why seat 2B does not show up on the seatmap & acknowledged that it usually shows as blocked but is currently just not showing period (noticed the same thing on one of my future itineraries). The above links only address the fact that those seats are normally blocked

That's right, OOO (thanks for coming to my aid). The seat map on the CO website shows that what should be seat 1B (not 2B, BTW) is "No Seat".

I'd be surprised if CO physically pullled the seat. Either it remains blocked, and the seatmap is glitched, or the system is precient, knows that seat will be broken on that day, and is nice enough to take it out of inventory.
