However, DMs now can get only four GUCs versus having been able to pick six or ten SWUs in the past through choice benefits. Yes, the two GUCed RTs can be purchased for lower fares, but then the person must purchase BE fares for the other trips or purchase M+ and use miles to upgrade (which generally means no upgrades at the gate). [ExAMS is a bit different and presumably KLM policies on selling upgrades at the airport for money and or miles have not changed.]

- this is kinda the point I was trying to make. I know that I am not a HVC and that my family's 20k is nothing compared to what some people spend so I do not think of myself as a HVC. What I do wonder is if 3 or 4 people (in this thread alone) leave are they really going to pick up a 80k spender becuase of this policy or are they going to lose more then they gain, we shall see right?

The only reason I started this was I thought their email to me had a "better then me" "take your free peanuts and shut up" attitude and was a bit snarky. I felt after all the year and money I had spent it should have been well.......different thats all
