Thanks

Just saw this on AA....Booking code priority:
  • From Business to First (for systemwide and mileage award upgrades only): J, R, D, I, C
  • From Main Cabin to the next class: W, P, Y, H, K, M, L, V, G, S, N, Q, O, T
AFAIK, SWUs are from main cabin to business. But this might be a harbinger of things to come.
