Can anyone comment on what the increased First Saver availability looks like? Is it a meaningful difference in the available seats, or is this a benefit that I'm just not likely to ever get a chance to use?

Unfortunately, I'm usually flying short haul flights out of ORD, so a lot of the other perks aren't too meaningful. I'm usually on an RJ where everyone is stuck gate checking their bag, so Group 1 doesn't mean too much. And from my experience going from Silver -> Gold was that for CPUs I went from 40th to 20th on the upgrade list, so I'm not very optimistic that Platinum would really make a difference there either.
