Folks, the upgrade party is over at CO. First, they started sorting by spend, which took care of mileage runners and the like. Then they started pricing First at rational numbers. Net effect: More seats sold...more held til day of departure, and in some cases, fewer seats on downsized (or BF configured 757's, which we see on Florida trips all the time). For the moment, CO elites will do much better on NW. Blame the computer. Before them, they never knew who they were giving the stuff to, other than they were elite.
