US was always terrible at coming up with revenue ideas. Ben Baldanza (now CEO of Spirit) tried to implement a policy in which only Y, B, M, and H booking classes earned Preferred status and that failed miserably before the program even took off as US panicked with the number of CPs who told them, fine do that, and we are gone.
