Exactly the same situation here. SHE flyes with me 2-3 times a year at the most ( she is GM gifted by me ) and i really like that change in policy. Beeing a DM means C+ or F at my window.
For those telling me here on the board "the companion does not deserve this"...i will most likely end the year as a "double Diamond" with around 250k BIS miles. Should't i have the "right" ( or better privilege ) to upgrade someone travelling with me before you Mr. GM?
