Flew LHR-CLT yesterday and there were only 4 of us in J and 40 pax in total onboard. I looked at expertflyer before we left and it said J9 C9 but U0. Meaning they were happy to give away the seats with a mileage upgrade/Cp certs but knowing damn well that the plane was leaving empty wouldn't open up any J award tickets...not sure what the criteria is anymore for determining which flight should be open to J awards...
