2. If I redeem a Coach Award, Miles Only, am I still eligible to be put on the FC waitlist as an MVPG?
3. And if the answer is yes to #2 above, I'm assuming they would clear in the same priority "equation" for me starting at T-72 or are Awards class fares treated entirely different? (I'm sure I saw this covered in another thread and can't find it right now...)

Thanks in advance!

1. According to http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=SEA-OAK, 672. That website is usually accurate to within a mile or two.
2. Nope. AS does not, unlike many other carriers, offer any way to upgrade on awards.
3. N/A

Hope this helps.
