However, I have called NW Plat at least 3 times in the last 10 minutes, btw, this Z1 just showed up in the last 15 minutes, and specifically asked what the Z1 seat was allocated to. They said, that is what they would need to upgrade me, but they see NO Z availability for any purpose. FWIW, NWA.COM does show a 200K RT MEM-AMS using NW58 on 3/16 as the outbound, but that would be rulebuster WBC. Does rulebust WBC come out of Z, too?

Just very curious given some of the recent threads about the KVS tool, etc...

From ITN tool:
Northwest Airlines 58
Airbus A332 7:20 pm
Memphis, TN (MEM) 10:10 am (Next day)
J6 C3 I0 Z1 Y9 B9 M9 H9 Q8 V5 L9 T5 K9

This flight has only met one of the requirements, the Z = > 1. You also have to look at the award availability (below) and you will see that CS and CA = - not +. I do not think you have a great chance at this because if you look at my post I have found that they will open award seats if J/C = >7 and this one is showing 6. I will keep an eye on it as well.
