Generally booking into H on delta.com, except for 1262. This is a typical pattern IME.

And clearly indicative that lots of people are buying cheap Y tickets rather than J outright
err...maybe I did search for today.... in any case, I would still expect some Diamond op ups. What this will certainly prevent is a FO or GM getting upgraded on a cheap ticket on a slow day....


Does anyone have data for typical loads for the transcons? How often they sell out?
