And elites should get flight bonuses automatically without the need to sacrifice another selection item. 100%/50%/25% for SE/E/P seems fair.
I completely agree with this. I am 100% upgraded on CO/UA this year (I think probably 12 flights so far) and have never paid more than the cheapest fare. The food on CO/UA I would not serve my dog (and he's an omnivore lab).
