I was thinking that all eupgrades could be processed first, so this practice would only stop the free op ups from happening.

I still believe LMUs should not be a good deal. They should be priced just high enough to get a few, but not low enough to fill the cabin. Selling one LMU at $1000 is better than selling two at $500.

Exclusivity is part of flying J and personally, when its full, it feels kind of 'pedestrian'.
