I'm with Beckles & MileKing. I don't think the important measure is how many "free" (none of them are free, you know - we've paid for them through the nose) seats are available. It's how many FF requests for awards (whether they're for free seats or for upgrades) are honored. And, if the requests are for free seats, how many are for coach and how many are for first, and how many of each are honored? That's the true measure of whether a FF program does what it pretends to do. I'm going to ask Randy to look at this post (although I'm sure he already has).
