The irony of this statement is that it's actually no effort at all to use GUCs for First these days ... there's guaranteed last seat availability on first class routes using GUC. Of course many people want to use them for D1 which is more complicated. But the recent changes have arguably significantly increased the floor valuation of GUCs (at the cost of lowering the potential ceiling value).
