the real issue at DCA is the fixed number of beyond-perimeter slots, which Congress is not at all likely to increase any time soon ... that said, though, while I scored a handful of MVPG upgrades on DCA<—>LAX a few years ago (and being DC-based at the time, the schedule was perfect), I’m pretty sure the number would have been zero on a 12F 738, never mind an 8F A320/A321
