I started a new thread but my post was moved to this thread.
A key distinction is that I am seeing reductions in all Saver inventory, both close in and far out. I'm simply seeing much less Saver inventory the past few months than I ever saw before, regardless of time horizon.
I don't fully understand your comment about miles and co-pay. Doesn't that strategy require R space, which they've also drastically curtailed?
We all know that they don't fill the premium cabins with paying passengers.
It seems like the only remaining path to sit in a premium cabin, short of shelling out an obscene amount of cash, is to be selected by $mi$ek's SHARES algorithm for an HOD offer.
