Venk, I completely agree with you.. Almost everyone that I know around here flies CO and has a OnePass acct (90% of my clients at the travel agency did, and 80% of our tkt sales was on CO). The majority are non-elite. Since I was our resident "OnePass Guru", I would always ask clients if they wanted to use miles to upgrade, and most would look at me as if I had 2 heads. Most had never seen a FC seat, except walking by it on their way to coach. They save for a free ticket. Even my clients with large Memb Rew balances almost always transferred for free tkts, and MOST used them on otherwise cheap trips to FL (much to my dismay). I truly think the ones most affected by this change will be those ex-elites who have either changed their allegiance or cut their flying way down. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
