What's E class?
I was trying to redeem a FC ticket EWR-SJC. ITN shows F2. When I called the gold elite line, I was told that E class is not available and that I need 90K for the reward. Anyway, I thought Standard FC comes from F bucket and EasyPass comes from A bucket. Was I wrong? Is it true that there is an E class that's no showing at ITN?

While we're at it -- what is D?
(Domestic)
A = Paid FC
F = Available for upgrades
D = ?
Y,H,K,B,V,Q,T = Various Coach

"E" class is not displayed on ITN, but is the bucket that reward F/C tickets are booked in. Availability of "E" is usually less then "F" class. 
"D" class is for the domestic continuation of Buisness class tickets.

I recently flew EWR-CUN in F class using upgrade coupons from a prestige pack. The ticket showed "D" class and "business" class. D must also mean upgraded First class on international flights without BusFirst.

Yes - and one can safely assume that for any given CO flight at any given time, it too shows (in CO res. PC's):
E=0 (also known as Bethunes's Mathematical Law of Free Business First to HNL).
Sorry, Gordon, you lost my 50K miles/yr. based on your ridiculous formula above.

So if a flight (CO 300 from EWR -> SJC on 3/20 on a 737-700 with 12 FC seats for instance...) is showing A6 D6 F0 are 12 out of 12 seats still potentially available? Or only 6?

p.s. E class is for First/Business rewards, coach reward tickets will show M class, however they are drawn from the Q bucket, or V for high level elites.
