That's what I would have thought too. i just checked Continental to see what type of opportunity there was for award seats (for many reasons I am switching my flying to them). Catch this, mid week departure and return, in November, ROC -GLA, NO standard award seats! This is not a busy time of the year - I go to GLA or EDI almost every Oct/Nov. Obviously some airlines have some interesting ideas of how to let us use our miles.
