THIS is the big unanswered question.
How will the few remaining "free" perks of "status" be handled - or not - in attempting to use the basic economy fare?
My guess is that "status" will be bumped to the bottom of the line according to fare paid, status, etc. - like with upgrades now. My hunch is that if I try to use the lower fare, I will be not be able to book a seat until the day of the flight and then wait listed for E+ or even an aisle or window seat in E-. I 'll bet upgrades to business or domestic first will not be allowed - unless maybe as a benefit of the Explorer Card.
We'll see.
