Trying to balance the benefits of that huge J cabin with the issue of a large number of elites being concentrated onto just a few flights to DFW per day.
I'm not sure what your rolling EQD is, but mine has been around $20K the past couple years.

I have never missed an SWU on DFW-LHR or LHR-DFW. I've flown on every day of the week, and various times (though never on the first DFW-LHR (20/50)). I find that the first LHR-DFW flight (around 9am) is usually pretty easy to clear. The last flight of the day has been tougher lately... as I've been upgraded on that one either on the plane or within 4 hours of departure.
