Well, it doesn't matter at this point anyway. I was looking at an outbound day loaded with Z9s and 3/4 empty FC cabins, thinking there would be a single upgradeable seat at some point that day. I was wrong. I am thoroughly disgusted with COs lack of reward avail, whether for free seats or upgrades, and I think it borders on fraud. Still sitting on 2 freebies from the "Fly 3, 1 Free" promo last year, have never seen avail for anything I checked. They will be tossed I am sure.. And this new situation for "hiding" the upgradeable inventory has me pulling my hair out. Being a "EWR Bound CO Slave" has me about ready to scream.. BTW, on the same dates, DL has FC fares LESS than CO's COACH fare AND NWs FC fare is half COs. I don't mind connecting to save several thousand dollars. CO is gonna have to kiss my cash goodbye for awhile.
