"Changes coming next Spring"
Speaking to a regular FA I see and she mentioned some changes are coming next Spring "for a better first class experience"
She wouldn't say too much and I didn't dig but I did state my desire for unlimited UG's to be K+ only and she smiled.
MQD and potential K+ only UG's. Times are a changing, for the better IMHO.

Oh, jeez. You ascertained this all from a "smile". The vast majority of FA's probably don't even know what a 'K' fare is (let alone would they be provided knowledge about future changes in the domestic upgrade program). Sorry, but I'll take your speculation with a large grain of salt.

Delta once offered upgrades only on K+ and it worked for them for a long time but it would put them at a major competitive disadvantage today and that is the only reason that it changed from before.

Maybe they're actually getting some actual decent fri**'in BEER again.
Blue Moon? I can actually drink that stuff - - it is like being in a kind of beer holding pattern before an actual beer landing.
Heineken? Don't get me started.

As a Diamond why would you care? No lower medallion on anything less than a K fare will ever be above you on an UG list, and if you want to buy K fares to feel better about your upgrade, you can. Am I missing something?

Well, hypothetically, if a DM purchases a nearly last minute ticket, and other DMs, PMs & GMs have already been UG'd on <K fares, those seats wouldn't be available for the last minute DM purchase.
