The only thing that makes it better is being bounced on an award ticket to another airline, which usually puts you into the Y bucket... Y-fare bonus. Single-dipping in another proram... on an award ticket.
It was indeed a Y ticket on AA. Guess that's how I got the bulkhead! I almost felt guilty for keeping it from some long-legged AA loyalist.

By the way, I almost never fly American, so tell me if you think it's unusual to have 90 people on the standby list? I couldn't believe the monitor. This was an ORD-LGA evening flight on the Monday after Thanksgiving.
