U class availability has fallen off a cliff to where it's barely of any use anymore, but at least the numbers sort of matched up in terms of the point between econ and F. I've long since switched over to another carrier for various reasons, but in those instances where AS is the better choice for a trip, I've noticed lately that even their rate charts are all messed up. Here's a great example - the non-guaranteed U rate....more than F fare. I've also noticed that they're feathering up the aggressiveness of the F arbitrage, as there are a LOT of F seats available in these flights showing only a few left.
Did a dispensary open up across the street from where AS keeps its actuaries?
Random aside: When did they start charging golds/75's for the enhanced seating? I noticed on this rez they wanted to charge $45 a seat for row 6. I don't know if I've been paying that for some length of time and I just never noticed the fee or if it's new - last time I remember reading about it, the fee only applied to non-elites.
