Well I don't want any other elites to dilute the pool... sorry, but with the way fares are, lots more FC fares are being bought, esp on the major routes.

It was noted that at the CO DO Larry mentioned that Plats are getting upgraded about 2/3 of the time.... wellllll as a NW Plat on NW Metal, it's over 90%... one of the reasons I don't fly much CO metal.

Add in DL and a NW SE like my mom won't ever get to see F...

But again, I think each airline needs to take care of its own elites, so I'd suggest an EUA order that favors them, like some of those above.
