Three questions for Bruce:

1) Will the price of purchased upgrades at the gate be adjusted to match the price a Medallion would have to pay to upgrade? Example: Today, I saw upgrades SLC-->ANC being sold for $100. Under the new scheme, I would have to use 5-500MSUs to upgrade, at a cost of $200 (5*$40 each). If not, can I return my MSUs and purchase an upgrade at the gate in a situation like this?

2) The difference between Y/B/M fares and A/FFY fares is pretty small in some markets - It is very possible that the price of a "B" class ticket, plus sufficient upgrade points, could easily exceed the price of an FFY ticket. Doesn't that seem a bit odd?

3) Has there been consideration to base earned MSUs on qualification miles rather than flown miles? It seems like I should earn more upgrade points on a F class ticket than on a T class ticket going to the same destination.

Thanks for your time.
