Alas, probably more like 95/5 or 98/2.
But it's also clear eupgrades are really going to be tough to use, not a lot of J/PE seats going to empty with that configuration, I for one won't be risking it on an international flight
Not so. eUpgrades are pretty much what's needed for these reduced csbins, in view of this year's enhancement to the FF program. There are so few credits floating around that most flights end up being filled in J not by upgrades but crews or non-revs.
Upgrades are are to get. Not because of space but because of not enough credits.
I have been buying lots of P fares as a result. The irony being that since I want confirmation at time of reservation, I am ending up not using many credits.
