I'm a Platinum elite, and have been for several years. I got an email about CO selling extra leg room seats, and how elites would still be able to reserve them for free. If you read thru the marketing fine print of selling the extra leg room seats, it sounds like they are selling exit rows and bulkheads now, compared to re-configuring into an 'extra leg space' cabin like UA. If this is correct, As a platinum, I'm not very happy with the option of selling exit row seats; I enjoy the ability to book exit rows at the time of my reservation, and consider it a privilege for my status. Now, anyone can pay a little more and get the same privilege, which will decrease my chance that the exit will be available. It's already bad enough that getting upgraded as a Platinum is difficult. I've sent an email to Continental, and expect the typical marketing fluff reply; maybe this forum can help start changing things.
