Had my Continental hat on for 'full' FC cabin
They are very conscious about elite upgrade %s in the decision process though...and as bad as the product is, they seem to manage things to ensure they always hit their internal targets for that. Of course, speak to anyone who flies SFO/SEA-MSP and you will hear an earful otherwise.
