Alaska Airlines to Hawaii - exit row seats?

We were given exit row seats on Alaska Airlines from Oakland to Honolulu. This was the third week of June. They gave them to us at the airport when we checked in.
 
It is usually easier to get the Exit Row on AS on the Oakland and San Jose routes because most of the elite travelers end up with an upgrade opening the exit row seats. Seattle is almost impossible as First Class is usually completely booked without any last minute upgrades taking place.
