This is actually worse than "all elites are equal". They are denying F paying elites while allowing some inexperienced to fly BF.

Second, there are many, many reports that TOD upgrades are offered to non-status pax. PMCO has been doing this for some time and now it spreads to combined airline.

Third, all elites are equal: is part of PMCO culture. Boarding process, Elite Access, etc.
+1! as always, kb1992, your comments & observations are right on the money! ^^^
