IMO these situations should not rebook into Y anyway. It isn't fair to higher level eiltes on more expensive fare classes to lose upgrades to FO, GM, etc. who paid for sLUT fares. IROPs should be handled at the expense of DL, not on the backs of other elites. Why should i be forced to compensate someone else with my upgrade because DL had a MX or whatever someplace in their system?
