Woes about airlines giving you the run-around with regards to availability for upgrades, award tickets, or those deeply discounted fares?

I propose this idea. I think almost everyone here is familiar with itn.net and its "expert mode" features that shows all the inventory classes.

Idea: Display all codes, including the upgrade classes and award classes. ALSO, I think they should show how many seats have been alloted for each class (9 can still mean 9+), in addition to the number avail.

I believe its a consumer's right to know if seats are allotted for a specific fare class.

e.g. NW Airlines

9/9F 0/0A 9/9J 9/9C 0/0D 9/9Y 9/9W 9/9B 9/9Q 9/9V 9/9K

What do you think? The only downside with this idea is that the customer will know more, and the airlines will have a harder time lying or making up stories. <sarcasm>
