Another question, -- Something has come up, and I now have to fly in 48 hours. I just booked the flights, and waitlisted the SWU upgrades. Within EXP, does where you are on the list depend more on how early you requested the upgrade, or on how many EQDs you have for the rolling 12 months? So while I just requested the upgrades 48 hours before flight (HKG-DFW-BOS), I have very high EQDs this year. Which one controls?
