Not so sure it can all be blamed on FCM. Tried to change a TPAC return connection ex-JFK. There were no F seats available n/s on other flts and this is a month out. Even tried to do another connection via BOS/DTW/whatever to get home earlier. Heck, I would have taken SLC if available. Found only one possible, getting me home an hour earlier via ATL and that one rubs up against the MCT.

Anecdotal but it seems like more pax are buying F. Also anecdotal but based on FT threads, more are buying discount F when possible and lots of PWM and certs, not to mention F awards despite the devaluations. Good for the airlines, bad for us who are looking for UG’s.
