If RUCs were eligible for JFK TCONs and DM could pick both RUCs and GUCs (so trading off some TCON upgrades for four global upgrades) or mileage upgrades actually cleared in advance or went to the gate (I'd be happy to burn mileage for TCON upgrades), I'd be OK with these changes.

But JFK TCON are two of my primary routes... losing almost all upgrades on them (and only getting them in exchange for the new globals) pretty much means I'll be moving to B6/VX/lowest available much sooner than I expected (ie: March 1). (It's simply not worth the time to route via an upgrade-eligible route.)

If I'm going to be in coach, it may as well be 38" B6 EMS.
