I called asking how much it would be to upgrade just the flight home and was moved into first on that flight into an A fare and given an ETV of $12.50.

RA is going to be able to reach his goal of 70 percent paid first class really easy at this rate.

Nah, he could have surpassed that goal long ago if he had hired me as a consultant. I could have given him a strategy to get way over 90%, perhaps even as high as 99%, almost instantly.
