I saw someone in another thread say that he took IAD-AMS on the 757 and it went out with 2 pax in WBC, so I guess it's not looking so great. If anyone has any definitive answers in the next day, it might affect my travel plans... thanks in advance! In the end, MMMV I guess...
Many K's reported here (by me as well) so the answer is probably that if they were handing out 5 they start at the highest and work down. I never buy a B or M unless I am planning to upgrade and I have scored my share of phantoms.
