I hope you're right. That would be very good news! In the last three weeks, I'm 1 for 6 on upgrades as CE on US operated flights and I suspect this is related to the fact that there are a ton of CE/CP's out there that will lose their status when the new program is rolled out. I also suspect that CEs are not recognized the same as CP in the US system considering I haven't missed an upgrade on HP operated flights since making CE at the end of last year, but maybe I'm just a conspiracy theorist. At the very least, the integrated program will cut down on the "our Chairman vs. their Chairman" attitude that I keep getting from US GAs.
