Thanks and absolutely - I'll take the 4 GUCs + 25k miles for DM and 4 RUCs for PM but that second question is still rattling my brain - how can I maximize the upgrade potential for us on LAX-KOA-LAX as a DM + non elite-couple? with RUCs presumably and not splitting the PNRs? And that third point about what happens to instrument priority after loss of DM/PM status or demotion to FO or even nothing (likely in my case)...

BTW yes I know, WFBF...that's why I said "upgrade potential" and not "upgrade certainty"

Thanks all for the continued brainstorming on this...very helpful!
