Aha, that's exactly what happened! From the original itinerary SEA-SFO was down-gauged to an express flight on a CR200 & recategorized as YN rather the the original L (see Post# 191). The flight(s) were upgraded with RPUs "earned" when my 2013 total passed 75,000 on the way to my eventual 2014 1K requalification in October. Two additional thoughts, (1) how anal can they be to split hairs on the way to the PQD "goals" & (2) flying on a CR200 should be classified as cruel & unusual punishment.
