NWA made some changes - I'm at least partly satisfied that they are listening to their elite customers. Remember, NWA is really trying to maximize their revenue - it is in our best interest for them to do so. It's called a compromise.

Besides, how many of us actually are faced with picking RoachChoice seats when booking? Not that many - and of those how many elites read FT and know about the 24 hr OLCI (also 24 hr RoachChoice selection). Even fewer.

I speculate this impact will be minimal to most of us.
