This is not correct.

This is correct.

Add'l data point to consider: more often than not a very minimal cost differential between coach and first so that many passengers - myself included - simply buy F rather than waiting to see if an upgrade clears.
I'm with you on the buying at F, too many bargains to pass up. And if they did move to current year EQM then why EQM and not EQP?
