Says who? This entire thread started with baseless speculation and has continued that way. Take your point about SDC - this is a policy that existed in PMCO - it's nothing to do with SHARES or any other reservations system. How can you, or anyone else arrive at the assumption that this PMCO policy will be carried over to the new airline? Sure I'd love if it did, but it doesn't just happen by default because of the use of some PMCO systems.
The intent of the OP is clear - raise a bunch of points that neither he, nor anyone else can confirm or deny at this stage and phrase it as a helpful "warning" to PMUA FF members. Incredibly misleading at best - in my view it is downright deceptive.
We simply do not know what policies will be in place going forward.

This was always possible on PMCO since SDC was made available. Longhaul routes too.
