You are of course correct. While my comment was tongue in cheek, I do think the program works well.
Attepmting to read AA's mind, I would think PLTs buying upgrades are an important part of their income flow. As a group who burns through stickers more than PLTs and subsequently will buy them for a route longer than say SAN-DFW?

As a result, PLTs can actually be at a 'disadvantage' to GLDs with respect to stickers used ÷ stickers earned.
