For the main point of this thread:
In the past gov't fares were excluded from the Y-up program on UA. Is the conclusion that they're now treated just like any other Y fare for upgrade purposes? I've noticed they're still excluded from most promotions, but that's fine with me.
At least the California fares (YCAL) do result in instant-ups on COdbaUA (if of course JN is available, which it usually seems to be even when PN is not).
