The SAG contract formerly required F for various celebs but the latest contract does away with this requirement. Nobody yet knows whether 3-class F (AA or UA) will survive on the strength of celebs/moneyed transcon travelers. Some Hollywood types will be able to negotiate F individually but the American Idol castoffs won't be able to fly F to NYC to visit the late night talk shows and early morning infotainment programs after being eliminated.
