This should be used for AC training!
Fantastic!
By the way I am quite sure not all SEs beat their dog everyday... some of them have cats too! Also did no one call the concierge? Seems too easy.

Wow, great posting!

Story could be even more sensational if Boris was in fact the so-called "male-mistress" to Sebastian that Sebastian was textmessaging with. Oh wait, I guess that's already been done before (former NJ governor Jim McGreevey)...

Looks like Sebastian was so caught up with his mistress that he forgot to request an upgrade for himself and ends up in Y...

Ack!

That is a serious error. Sebastian forgot to upgrade himself.

I'm going to have to rework things. An upguage to a 321 might be in order as I'm running out of J seats.

Concierges,friends in Montreal,gate agents who are known to traveller,....

I know that none of these scenarios would ever impact on anyone here.

What happens if the 321 then gets downguaged to a newly reconfigured 320 with only 14 seats?

Great post! ^ (I'm looking forward to this mattering for me again.)

I have just read this thread now - somehow

the title failed to capture my interest at first.

There's clearly a board game in this somewhere.

24h before flight

The upgrade waitlist disappears!

Pauline does OLCI and makes a standby upgrade request. The new standby upgrade waitlist is:

1. Pauline

Meanwhile, Edward logs into his Flight Pass page and requests a complimentary upgrade from available J space. The availability becomes:

J3 C0 Z0 Y6 M6 U0 B6 H0 V0 Q0 L0 A0 S0 I0

Y6 M6 U0 and B6

A very common scenario.

The M (higher Latitude), B (highest Tango+), and R (highest Tango) classes seem to be 'yoked' together and will usually have the same number when all the other economy classes are zeroed out.
