Can someone confirm if AS actually has an exit door installed, or it is just a fuselage plug ? This door is required to meet certification standards for high density seating, but many airlines with lower density seating opt not to have it installed (saving on cost, weight and maintenance), and the hole is covered with a fixed plug. To me the picture suggests that there was no door but a covering wall panel on the inside, and the seat row pitch also does not look like an exit row.
