Ain’t gonna happen.

1) AA is into the game to sell seats, not fill them with upgrades.

2) They’re prioritizing SWU by status, then rolling EQD spend - not “first come first served”, though that can occur when one sees available inventory.

3) AA didn’t put many limitations on SWU in the early stages; they tightened the restrictions considerably to enhance revenue.
