The fact that it
shouldn't make a difference
doesn't mean that it
doesn't make a difference. There are still residuals of data from the original PNR in the new PNR that was split off. While they can't be re-linked in the systems, there are cross references which don't exist if the PNR's are independent from the start. As an aside, there were RDM bonuses for a while last year based on bookings and we purchased sparate tickets to get the additonal RDM's and didn't have the non-simultaneous upgrade issues.
We've had too many situations where the first EUA clears and the second EUA clears a day or two later, typically one on T-5 and the orther on T-3 on VERY empty F cabins. Since ALL our itineraries are both of us and tomorrow's flight being segment 59 for the year, we have a fairly extensive base of data to work with.
