What's even more interesting is GS will lose roughly 87% of their RPUs in 2020 vs 2019. That's huge. Today, if there's a GS on your flight, they're guaranteed to have an RPU. Next year, there will be lots of GS on flights, who simply don't have any RPUs left. All else being equal, RPUs should become much easier for 1Ks in 2020!

Yeah, but aren't they getting GPUs instead? does that mean GPUs will become more difficult to use...?
The decrease of the number of RPUs in circulation will only mean that more F seats will be available for sale longer until the CPU clock kicks in. Besides, most RPU flights are also CPU, so the GS's will still outrank 1Ks for the CPU...?
