AS a silver I'd never get UG'd on EWR-SFO.
Especially not on CO41(752 int'l config).

I use miles/certs for those, but on those, you still need F availability. As a student I couldn't afford Y to get the elite Y->A.

I had no trouble a month ago getting EWR-LAX in F for a flight at the end of may.
Perhaps they are changing things...

I could understand keeping in reserve a bunch of seats, but to have absolutely NO availability over several weeks on a route is just ridiculous.

NJDavid: No continental apologist could argue with that much lack of availability. I found it particularly amusing that the agent remarked about me noticing no E availability.

I sent an email to wecouldcareless, we'll see what they say.

I will say, however, that CO has always been pretty good to me. I almost always fly Q/T, and have sat in back zero times out of 9. Two of those were in ERJs, but I have always been able to get 1A and cool FA's.
