American/Iberia reservations not willing to make seat assignments
I made a reservation through AA using frequent flyer miles for one of the tickets and paying for a second ($1479) for flights from Chicago to Athens, Greece. Since American doesn't fly there they booked me on their partner Iberia. When I made the FF reservation, they immediately gave me seat assignments. However, the paid ticket was not assigned any seats, and now I'm told that they (Iberia and American) won't be able to get seats until 24 hours in advance of the flight (Sept. 19, 2012). This is a totally unacceptable situation. I want to be able get seat assignments, at least for the first long flight from Chicago to Madrid, but all I get is the same answer--even talked to a supervisor at AA.
