Which of course means if it is on the AKL route systemwides will be once again worthless.

UA puts more F/C seats than they will generally sell so there are some upgrades, it seems CO configured planes probably have less seats than they can probably sell hence NO upgrades... so all of us 1Ks with our systemwides, they are basically just glorified CR1s unless you go offseason or on a wednesday, lol
