As always, many thanks sbm12.
I looked at a few (actually, many) CO flights during 2011~2012 and couldn't any difference in the number of seats allocated to the non-elite vs elite buckets for prem class travel, either free or award. i.e.,
ON = O avail
IN = I avail
RN = R avail
Hope that they actually do allocate more seats to the xN buckets. (Am assuming that the xN buckets are actually sub-buckets (ie, if a 1k pax books into an xN bucket, then both the xN and the x bucket decreases by one).
One thing I found interesting is the fact that there is now RN (for elite upgrades) in addition to R for upgrade availability. Does this mean that instead of zeroing out R inventory at the EUA run, CO will simply allocate EUA space in RN?
It is interesting because non-elites could potentially mileage upgrade while elites were waiting for EUAs at their respective windows.

I've seen the elite inventory higher in many cases and the same in many others. No guarantees, to be sure. But I've definitely had instances where being elite got me seats that otherwise would have not been available.

Sortof...O is a subset of ON, for example, not the other way around, if they're doing it right.

They already give folks using miles or other instruments priority over EUA on the CO side and the new program will have that same policy for the CPU process. I'm not so sure that this is a real issue to worry about.

Not exactly the same. Currently instruments trump the EUA for a PP while in the future a GS will trump. Otherwise correct though.
Other than the Revenue Buckets, I see all the award seats are coded differently than UA Codes (NF, NY, XF, XY). Since we will be using CO SHARES by March 2012, we will have to re-learn the codes.

Any idea why CO has a PN bucket on int'l long-haul (ie, not eligible for comp elite upgrade) flights? Thought this was used solely for comp elite UPGs in eligible markets?
Also, so "ON" is SaverPass F award AND C --> F upgrade space? So there is no distinction between the two?
The same inventory bucket will be used for both.

They are listed in a phrasing that is easy to understand. It might be different names next year and it might not but the concept is the same. The fare buckets above are what will happen for the new program.
