Well... I have to say that I'm not thrilled. RU's aren't useful for me especially in limited number. I'll fly nearly 200 EQM this year. In past years I appeciated the EUA's, however, as I'm in the air so much (322 hrs so far this year as per flightmemory.com) it isn't the SWU or RU availability that is a factor, it is the availability to use them that matters. I simply cannot do long range planning for personal trips (where I'd use the upgrades). By the time I see an opening to relax, there are no R fares. The reduction of fare class applicability hurts me (as opposed to my clients).

While I like the idea that we get more for higher thresholds, and accumulating revenue on both sides of the organization is good, bennies that you can't use, or don't get (reduced EUA's) have no value. Heck, I have 8 Air Canada upgrades that are just going to expire at year end.

Open up the usage availability for the top tier (s) and I'll be a big fan.
