Apparently this is exactly what it means.
Now we are back to mostly flying blind about near-term upgrade possibilities when booking or needing to waste a lot of time querying the agent about this availability going down the list of convenient flights one after the other until we hit one that works.
It will be interesting when NYC is my destination from South Florida and to LGA I start with FLL, proceed to MIA, then try PBI. If none of them work, then I can go on to do the same for JFK.
Perhaps this signifies the complete end of internet booking for PMs and DMs in favor of using an agent to parse the codes and then booking on the spot.
