Who will be brave enough to suggest Plat goes back to 75?
no one is talking about guaranteed suits. but rather guaranteed suites IF SPACE IS AVAILABLE. If there are 50 plats and only 25 open suites obviously not everyone is going to get one. thats where space available comes in... but if it's guaranteed, then those 25 suites are going to be occupied. if it's not some might be left open.
