For this domestic business traveler, the display of V and X was the be-all and end-all reason to subscribe to EF.
Sorry, you're right - just noticed on EF. Hopefully ExpertFlyerVoice can chime in. I am hopeful that this is just a timing/coding thing, and that they will eventually display R and O. If this was supposed to be a wholesale elimination of upgrade inventory display on DL, they could have eliminated all upgrade inventory, but G and Z are still available through EF even for domestic flights....
