Hehe, yeah that's cause guys like me (18k EXP) figure we're hosed otherwise and shell out the $75/15k to jump you on the list ;-) I pulled that move successfully twice this year on that LAX-DFW route. Pretty much any mid- or transcon with a lie-flat I'll go ahead and ask for the miles/copay waitlist right after I book.
