I was told by 2 agents today at a CTO that in order to get an upgarde or FREE (haha) BF seat to HNL (THE BIG PRIZE), Z class MUST BE AVAILABLE.

I think they are right, becuase I consistently see Z=0 from IAH-HNL.

OnePass will NOT be getting my vote this year in the Freddies.

I can understand holding back 4 or 5 seats 1 week before departure, however 9 is EXCESSIVE.
