How many MCE class seats were available on LUS? How many MCE class seats were available on LAA? Use the number of passengers per aircraft, you have lots more MCE if you're flying a LAA aircraft. I'm still not sure what Doug Parker and his mostly US executive team will do with MCE and LUS aircraft, but I'm not at all convinced this is a "major downgrade" for our LUS members - even at half price, and certainly not closer to flight time, when some elites may well have been upgraded from MCE seats.
