Some Diamonds will have already booked J. Some Diamonds will not have selected GUCs (or will have used them already). Some Diamonds fly exclusively to Europe or South America.

So I don't think 0.5/flight is off base.

^ Well done (pointing out to someone that the whole world doesn't center around them, and who doesn't realize that many - if not most - higher tier elites actually pay for the class which they desire to fly; most DMs likely don't ever get GUCs and surprisingly many probably don't even know what a GUC is).

But, don't waste any more effort here. Things like facts, logic and reason just aren't comprehended by a few here.
