Further, what if when I class is released it is priced at a ridiculous number of miles. Will you have to pay it, or can you refuse it at that time. Or is the concept of a Saver award just going away?
Either waitlisting will go away, or there will be some kind of underlying price that they use when I is not available. (I think the GS T->XN privilege will fall in the same boat). I'm not sure they've figured it out yet.
