My recollection is the same as Channa's.

No one questioned it. I beleive Larry prefaced the slide by saying that there was a myth that a lot of upgrades were given to Plautinums that were comped versus earned. He was showing that 98% went to those that earned it. There has been a lot of griping on the boards that CO was comping away a lot of upgrades. This was his way of dispelling it. Of course, it would be nice to know the actualy numbers.

I do remember Larry adding that if they get a shot a corporate contract that they think is good for CO, and that one of the stipulations is "X" number (reasonable) of Platinum cards, they will go for it and give the comps. I think he said that their historical data indicates that those comped cards are not used that heavily.
